Let's see...let me go back to my Accounting days....

Using FIFO, we have....

10,000 of the units purchased Jan. 21 + 10,000 of the units purchased Feb. 25 + all 15,000 units pruchased on Mar 31

So

10000(.48) + 10000(.46) + 15,000(.47) =

4800 + 4600 + 7050 = 

$16,450

 

{This is in direct contrast to my "Personnel Retainment Theory"  = "FISH" = First In , Still Here }
