Ending inventory and COGS

Ending inventory in the perpetual system under the FIFO method is the value of ending inventory at the current cost and the COGS would be based on historic prices. This is so because of the implication of the first in first out method in the allocation of cost to the issued inventory.

In the given case, the ending inventory on 30^th Nov amounts to $140 and the COGS for the period amounts to $3,232.
