Under FIFO, the cost of goods sold for January is calculated using the oldest inventory first: 15 units at $350 and 25 units at $375. For February, 25 units at $375 and 45 units at $405 are used. The total sales revenue is $60,500. Subtracting the cost of goods sold ($42,225) from the sales revenue gives a gross margin of $18,275.
