The company had five one-carat diamonds available for sale this year: one was purchased on June 1 for $500, two were purchased on July 9 for $550 each, and two were purchased on September 23 for $600 each. On December 24, it sold one of the diamonds that was purchased on July 9. Using the FIFO method, its ending inventory (after the December 24 sale) equals:_______
A. $2,200.
B. $2,300.
C. $2,800.
D. $2,250.

Respuesta :

Answer:

B. $2,300.

Explanation:

The computation of the ending inventory using FIFO method is given below:

Since there are 5 diamonds and one is sold

So, the ending inventory units should be

= 5 - 1

= 4

Now the ending inventory be

= 2 × $600 + 2 × $550

= $1,200 + $1,100

= $2,300

Hence, the option b is correct
