The explanation to the answer is now given as follows:

(a) Determine the cost of merchandise sold on March 27

Under the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method, the last purchased items are issued first and the cost of goods sold are calculated using the cost of the last purchased item.

Therefore, the cost of merchandise sold on March 27 can be calculated as follows:

Cost of last purchased item before March 27 = $20

Units of sale on March 27 = 240

Cost of merchandise sold on March 27 = Cost of last purchased item before March 27 * Units of sale on March 27 = $20 * 240 = $4,800

Therefore, the cost of merchandise sold on March 27 is $4,800.

(b) Determine the inventory on March 31.

As already stated in part (a), the last purchased items are issued first under the last-in, first-out (LIFO).

Therefore, the inventory on March 31 can be determined as follows:

Units of March 1 purchase outstanding after March 8 sales = Units purchased on March 1 - Units sold on March 8 = 270 – 225 = 45

Cost of units of March 1 purchase outstanding after March 8 sales = Units of March 1 purchase outstanding after March 8 sales * Cost per unit of March 1 purchase = 45 * $18 = $810

Units of March 15 purchase outstanding after March 27 sales = Units purchased on March 15 - Units sold on March 27 = 375 – 240 = 135

Cost of units of March 15 purchase outstanding after March 27 sales = Units of March 15 purchase outstanding after March 27 sales * Cost per unit of March 27 purchase = 135 * $20 = $2,700

Therefore, we have:

Inventory on March 31 = Cost of units of March 1 purchase outstanding after March 8 sales + Cost of units of March 15 purchase outstanding after March 27 sales = $810 + $2,700 = $3,510

the answer would be voluntary exchange -

"the act of buyers and sellers freely and willingly engaging in market transactions. moreover, transactions are made in such a way that both the buyer and the seller are better off after the exchange than before it occurred."
