Define LIFO principle: LIFO means last in, first out. So we start with the last purchase to determine the cost of goods sold for the 6 blankets sold on May 20.
Calculate cost for 6 blankets: First, we take the 10 blankets purchased on May 30 at $30 each. But we only need 6 for the sale on May 20, so we calculate the cost for these 6 blankets: 6 blankets ×$30/blanket = $180.
