    1) You didn't include the detail information for this question so it cannot be answered. But it is asking the same question that #4 asks. The answer to #4 is D

    2) A - Measures the average length of time from the date of sale, to the date the cash is collected

    3) D - if they don't perform a physical inventory

    4) D - remaining balance, under FIFO includes 20 units at $21 per unit, plus 10 units at $22 per unit. These total $640

    If question #1 is really different than question #4; please add in the details and I can help you on that one also
