Carlson Auto Dealers Inc. sells a handmade automobile as its
only product. Each automobile is identical; however, they can be
distinguished by their unique ID number. At the beginning of 2018,
Carlson had three cars in inventory, as follows:
| Car ID | Cost | ||
| 203 | $ | 51,000 | |
| 207 | 51,000 | ||
| 210 | 54,000 | ||
During 2018, each of the three autos sold for $81,000. Additional

were as follows:
