Calculate cost of goods sold and ending inventory for 2018 assuming the company uses specific identification.

Answer 1

Calculation of Cost of Goods Available for Sale
Date	Units	Unit Cost	Total Cost
January 1	50	39	1950
May 5	100	38	3,800
November 3	80	37	2,960
Total	230		$8,710

Cost of goods available for sale = $8,710

Calculation of Cost of Goods Sold
Date	Units	Unit Cost	Total Cost
January 1	50	39	1950
May 5	80	38	3,040
November 3	70	37	2,590
Total	200		$7,580

Cost of goods sold = $7,580

Cost of ending inventory = Cost of goods available for sale - Cost of good sold

= 8,710-7,580

= $1,130
