Answer:

(C) $94.00

Explanation:

The computation of the cost of goods sold for the sale of May 20 is shown below:

= Remaining units × cost price + remaining units × cost price

= 4 units × $15 + 2 units × $17

= $60 + $34

= $94

The 4 units come from May 1 and May 10 i.e 9 units - 5 units = 4 units

And on May 20, the 6 units were sold out of which 4 units were sold at price of $15 and rest 2 units were sold at a price of $17
