### Table Explanation:
The table is split into three main sections: Goods Purchased, Cost of Goods Sold, and Inventory Balance, all under the Perpetual FIFO system.
1. **Goods Purchased:**
- **Date:** Records when the goods were purchased.
- **# of Units Purchased:** Number of units acquired on that date.
- **Cost Per Unit:** Cost of each unit purchased.
- **Goods Purchased:** The total cost of the units purchased (calculated by multiplying the number of units by the cost per unit).
2. **Cost of Goods Sold:**
- **# of Units Sold:** The number of units sold.
- **Cost Per Unit:** The cost of each unit sold, based on the FIFO method.
- **Cost of Goods Sold:** The total cost for the units sold.
3. **Inventory Balance:**
- **# of Units:** Number of units remaining in inventory.
- **Cost Per Unit:** The unit cost of the remaining inventory.
- **Inventory Balance:** Total cost of the remaining inventory.
At the bottom, there is a note indicating: "Answer is complete but not entirely correct." This suggests that the calculation or input might need verification or adjustments.
