Under LIFO, if units are in inventory at two different costs, enter the units with the HIGHER unit cost first in the Cost of Merchandise Sold Unit Cost column and LOWER unit cost first in the Inventory Unit Cost column.

total cost of goods sold = $78,520

Explanation:

Inventory Purchases Sales

May 1 1,300 units at $36

May 10 650 units at $38

May 12 910 units

Cost of goods sold = (650 x $38) + (260 x $36) = $34,060

May 20 585 units at $40

May 14 780 units

Cost of goods sold = (585 x $40) + (195 x $36) = $30,420

May 31 390 units

Cost of goods sold = 390 x $36 = $14,040

total cost of goods sold = $34,060 + $30,420 + $14,040 = $78,520
