$208

Explanation:

In order to calculate the cost of goods sold using the FIFO periodic inventory method assuming that two of the three players were sold by the end of December, we will assume that the two DVDs sold were in accordance to the sequence in which they were bought.

FIFO as the name implies means first in first out.

Therefore the cost of sales will be the addition of the amounts for those two: The first, with serial #1012, was purchased on June 1 at a cost of $113.

Th second, with serial #1045, was purchased on November 1 for $95

Therefore  $113+ $95 = $208
