Explanation:

Calculating the cost of the product sold:

FIFO:

June 1:  23 units costing of [tex]\$ 10[/tex] each [tex]= \$ 230[/tex]

Aug 27: 23 units costing of [tex]\$ 10[/tex] each [tex]= 230[/tex]

             13 units costing of [tex]\$ 15[/tex] each [tex]= 195[/tex]

                                                                [tex]\$425[/tex]

Total cost of product sold[tex]= \$655[/tex]

LIFO:

June 1:  23 units costing of [tex]\$ 10[/tex] each [tex]= \$ 230[/tex]

Aug 27:  36 units costing of [tex]\$15[/tex] each = 540

                   Total cost of product sold [tex]= \$ 770[/tex]

Average cost:

June 1:  23 units costing of [tex]\$ 10[/tex] each [tex]= \$ 230[/tex]

Aug 27:  36 units costing of [tex]\$13.051[/tex] each [tex]= \$469.836[/tex]

                  Total cost of product sold [tex]= \$699.836[/tex]
