April 15 | Purchase | 1 | 230 | |||
April 20 | Purchase | 1 | 231 | |||

Average cost per unit | $230 | ($690 ÷ 3 units) |
Assume that one unit is sold on April 27 for $313.
Determine the gross profit for April and ending inventory on April 30 using the (a) first-in, first-out (FIFO); (b) last-in, first-out (LIFO); and (c) weighted average cost method.
Gross Profit | Ending Inventory | |
a. First-in, first-out (FIFO) | $ | $ |
b. Last-in, first-out (LIFO) | $ | $ |
c. Weighted average cost | $ | $ |
