Answer:

COGS= $220

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

A company purchases 50 units of inventory for $3.50 on January 5 and 35 units for $3.00 on January 25.

Number of units sold= 65

First, we need to calculate the number of units in ending inventory:

Ending inventory in units= (50 + 35) - 65= 20

Now, under the FIFO (first-in, first-out) method, the cost of goods sold is calculated using the cost of the firsts units incorporated into inventory:

COGS= 50*3.5 + 15*3

COGS= $220
