=500 000 + 10 000 000 -9 850 000 = 650 000 units

Based on FIFO ,

Closing stock value = 650 000/10 000 000 x R17 900000
. = R1 163 500

OR R1 358 500 – (650 000 X R0.30) =R1 163 500

= [26 000 kgs – (5 000 X 28 000kgs/5 600 units)] R1 400 000/28 000kgs
= (26 000 kgs- 25 000 kgs) R50
= R50 000 (Unfavorable)
