Transcribed Image Text:Scrappers Supplies tracks the number of units purchased and sold throughout each accounting period but applies its inventory costing method at the end of each period, as if it uses a periodic inventory system. Assume its accounting records provided the following information at the end of the annual accounting period, December 31.

| c. Purchase on account, June 30 | 240 | 39 |
| d. Cash sale, August 1 ($49 each) | (95) | |
