Computing ending inventory and cost of goods sold under FIFO and LIFO cost-flow assumptions.

Cost flow assumptions - FIFO and LIFO using a periodic system. Mower Blowers coy started business on Jan 20, 2009. Products sold were snow blowers and lawn mowers. Each product sold for $350. Purchases during 2009 were as follows:

In inventory at Dec 31, 2009, 10 blowers and 25 mowers. Assume the coy uses a period inventory system. What will be the difference between ending inventory valuation at December 31, 2009, and the cost of goods sold for 2009, under FIFO and LIFO cost-flow assumptions? Hint: Compute ending inventory and cost of goods sold under each method, and then compare results.
