Answer:

USING LIFO METHOD

Nov 1 Opening inventory 20 units@$19 =   380

Nov 4 Sales                       10 units@$19   = (190)    

Nov 10 Purchases              30 units@$20 = 600  

Nov 17 Sales                       20 units@$20 = (400)

Nov 30 Purchases              10 units@$21  = 210

Cost of merchandise sold                             600
