Required:
Calculate the total amount to be assigned to cost of goods sold for the fiscal year ended September 30, 20-2, and ending inventory on September 30, 20-2, under each of the following periodic inventory methods. For the weighted-average method, round the average unit cost to two decimal places. Round all final answers to the nearest dollar.
