Quick Summary
This discussion explores the valuation of goods using the First-In, First-Out (FIFO) inventory method. It walks through a scenario involving multiple purchases, sales, and customer returns, illustrating how to track inventory costs. The core principle is that the oldest inventory is assumed to be sold first, and the impact of returned goods, especially if damaged, on the final valuation is considered.

FIFO- First purchased inventory will be first processed and sold first. So 190 purchases- 190 sales. 20 units returned because they are faulty. Next new purchases is on 6-4 and the 10 units were sold from 6-4. 

We are received good on date 8-4 from customer ( i.e good return) & that good we purchased at 2-4 so why from 6-4
8-4 does sales returns are for 4-4 goods sold and that is the only date on which sales occurred. Once inventory is returned, it is written off if it is badly damaged. Since, no additional information is given, we must consider it as badly damaged goods. So, 9-4 Sales is from 6-4 Purchases.
But it is assumed that sale return good will be saleable at market rate and no any defect found in good so that ?

No information is given
