B.

FIFO means first in first out. This method assumes that the oldest products in a company’s inventory have been sold first. The costs paid for those oldest products are the ones used in the calculation.

issue price method Date Receipt     Issue   Balance    
FIFO   Qty price Value Qty price Value Qty value
1/1 1000 10 10000 - - - 1000 10000
2/1 2000 12 24000 - - - 3000 34000
3/1 - - - 1500 - 1500 1500 18000
4/1 1000 11 11000 - - 2500 2500 27,500
  5/1 - - - 1000   1500 1500 16500

From the table above, value of closing stock using FIFO = 

Total closing stock = 1500

previous stock bought at N12 = 500 units

Last stock bought at N11 = 1000 units

12 x 500 + (11 x 1000) = 17,000

Given:

Balance as per cash book...................N20,000
Unpresented cheques........................N5,200
Direct credit to the bank..................N1,000
Direct debit from the bank.................N1,000
Credit in the cash book....................N500

20,000+5200+1000 - (1000+500) = 24,700
