Perpetual Inventory Using FIFO
Beginning inventory, purchases, and sales data for portable DVD players are as follows:

15 | Purchase | 23 units @ $81 | |
20 | Sale | 22 units | |
24 | Sale | 8 units | |
30 | Purchase | 37 units @ $85 |
The business maintains a perpetual inventory system, costing by the first-in, first-out method.
Determine the cost of the merchandise sold for each sale and the inventory balance after each sale, presenting the data in the form illustrated in Exhibit 3.
