Answer:

cost of goods available for sale: $ 5,300

cost of goods sold : $3,500

ending inventory : $7,100

Explanation:

FIFO is an Inventory Management System that Sales the Oldest Stock first followed by the recent stock acquired.

cost of goods available for sale:

January 1 : 350×$4.00 =  $1,400

January 8: 650×$6.00 = $3,900

Total                                $ 5,300

cost of goods sold :

January 9 and January 28 : 350 × $4.00 = $1,400

                                            : 350 × $6.00 = $2,100

Total                                                             = $3,500

ending inventory :

January 31 : 300 × $6.00 = $1,800

                 :  760 × $7.00 = $5,300

Total                                  = $7,100
