FIFO (first-in, first-out) assumes that the first units purchased are the first units sold. Therefore, the cost of goods sold for July is calculated as follows:Beginning inventory: 40 units at $20 = $800Purchases on July 7: 140 units at $21 = $2,940Total available for sale: 180 units at $20.56 ($4,180 / 180)Units sold: 180 units - 50 units on hand = 130 unitsCost of goods sold: 130 units at $20.56 = $3,110
