Instructions
1.Show computations to value the ending inventory using the FIFO cost assumption if 550 units remain on hand at October 31.
2.Show computations to value the ending inventory using the weighted-average cost method if 550 units remain on hand at October 31.
a3.Show computations to value the ending inventory using the LIFO cost assumption if 550 units remain on hand at October 31.
