**Total Cost of Purchases for October:** $16,620

### Required:
Using the FIFO (First-In, First-Out) method, calculate the ending inventory and cost of goods sold on October 31.

#### Steps for Calculation:

1. **Determine the cost of goods sold (COGS) using FIFO:**
   - FIFO implies that the earliest items purchased are the first to be sold.

#### Transactions Breakdown:

   - **Sales:**
     - October 4: Sold 5 units from Beginning Inventory -> 5 units at $740 = $3,700
     - October 13: Sold 3 units from remaining 1 unit in Beginning Inventory and 2 units from October 10 purchase -> 1 unit at $740 + 2 units at $750 = $740 + $1,500 = $2,240
     - October 28: Sold 4 units -> 3 units from October 10 purchase and 1 unit from October 20 purchase -> 3 units at $750 + 1 unit at $760 = $2,250 + $760 = $3,010
   
   - **Total COGS:**
     \[
     3,700 + 2,240 + 3,010 = 8,950
     \]

2. **Calculate the ending inventory:**
