Answer:

$136

Explanation:

Date      Transaction       Units         Cost           Total          

3             Purchase             5            $20             $100

10            Sale                     3

17            Purchase            10            $24            $240

20           Sale                     6

23           Sale                     3

30           Purchase           10             $30            $300

using the first in, first out method, the COGS is calculated based on the oldest price of the units in merchandise inventory:

6 units were sold on May 20th, 2 of them costed $20 (May 3rd purchase) per unit = $40, while 4 of them costed $24 (May 17th purchase) = $96. Total COGS = $40 + $96 = $136.
