 2. Compute the number of units in ending inventory.
 
Explanation:
 
  Units available (from part 1) 440  units
  Less: Units sold (220 + 90) 310  units
 

  Ending Inventory (units) 130  units


Compute the cost assigned to ending inventory using (a) FIFO, (b) LIFO, (c) weighted average, and (d) specific identification. For specific identification, the March 9 sale consisted of 45 units from beginning inventory and 175 units from the March 5 purchase; the March 29 sale consisted of 25 units from the March 18 purchase and 65 units from the March 25 purchase. (Round your per unit costs to 2 decimal places)
