![### Manganese Plus Inventory Analysis
**Units Available for Sale During the Year:**
- **Mar. 1 - Inventory:**
- 22 units
- Price per unit: $31
- Total cost: $682
- **June 16 - Purchase:**
- 32 units
- Price per unit: $34
- Total cost: $1,088
- **Nov. 28 - Purchase:**
- 39 units
- Price per unit: $35
- Total cost: $1,365
**Total:**
- **Total Units:** 93 units
- **Total Cost:** $3,135
**Physical Inventory at November 30:**
- 12 units
**Task:**
Determine the difference in gross profit between the LIFO (Last In, First Out) and FIFO (First In, First Out) inventory cost systems. Enter the answer as a positive number.
**Calculations:**
1. **FIFO (First In, First Out) Cost of Goods Sold:**
- Start selling from the oldest inventory.
- Cost of 81 units (93 total - 12 ending inventory):
\[
22 \text{ units @ } \$31 + 32 \text{ units @ } \$34 + 27 \text{ units @ } \$35 = \$682 + \$1,088 + \$945 = \$2,715
\]
- Ending inventory (12 units from the most recent purchase):
\[
12 \text{ units @ } \$35 = \$420
\]
- Cost of Goods Sold (FIFO):
\[
\$2,715
\]
2. **LIFO (Last In, First Out) Cost of Goods Sold:**
- Start selling from the most recent inventory.
- Cost of 81 units (93 total - 12 ending inventory):
\[
39 \text{ units @ } \$35 + 32 \text{ units @ } \$34 + 10 \text{ units @ } \$31 = \$1,365 + \$1,088 + \$310 = \$2,763
\]
- Ending inventory (12 units from the oldest and middle purchases):
\[
12 \text{ units (10 @ $31 + 2 @ $34)} = \$372](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F73360e59-5edd-486f-ad18-bddf56b16620%2Ff4939ad8-7a38-4b75-848e-780464a2454f%2F4lqep8e_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
