Under FIFO method, if you sold on credit at a unit price of $20, first 4 units at a cost of $10 each, then 4 units at a cost of $12 each and finally 4 units at a cost of $15 each, what accounting entry should be recorded if 6 units are returned that are not reusable (at a loss), which you consider normal or customary activity? (NOTE: this case is so different if it were an unusual recording issue).
