Suppose the external costs of gasoline are estimated at $1.60 per gallon. The current tax on gas in a state (including the federal and state taxes) is $0.80 per gallon. The table shows the quantities of gas demanded (QD) and supplied (Qs) in millions of gallons at different prices (P) in dollars per gallon in the market for gasoline with no tax.

Inventory Costing Methods—Periodic MethodThe Luann Company uses the periodic inventory system. The following July data are for an item in Luann's inventory: July 1 Beginning inventory 30 units @ $9 per unit 10 Purchased 50 units @ $11 per unit 15 Sold 60 units 26 Purchased 25 units @ $13 per unit Calculate the cost of goods sold for July and ending inventory at July 31 using (a) first-in, first-out, (b) last-in, first-out, and (c) the weighted-average cost methods. Note: Round your cost per unit to three decimal places, if needed. Then round your final answers to the nearest dollar. A. First-in, First-out: Ending Inventory Answer Cost of Goods Sold: Answer B. Last-in, first-out: Ending Inventory Answer Cost of Goods Sold: Answer C. Weighted-average cost: Ending Inventory Answer Cost of Goods Sold Answer
