On April 28, Sea Travel sold five Wings to the Jack Sport racing team. The remaining seven boats remained in inventory at June 30, the end of Sea Travel's fiscal year.

Assume that Sea Travel uses a periodic inventory system. (Refer to the data that precede Problem 8.2B.)

1. Average cost (round cost to nearest whole dollar).

2. FIFO.

3. LIFO.

Show the number of units and the unit costs of each layer Comprising the ending inventory. You may determine the cost of goods sold by deducting, ending inventory from the cost of goods available for sale.
