Partridge Bookstore had 500 units on hand at Janua

$3,900.
$3,650.
$4,015.
$3,285.

Answer 1

$3,285.

Step-by-step explanation:

The LIFO method stands for Last in first out, that means the last one of stock should be sold on first basis, and the other items should be sold accordingly

According to the question, the cost of inventory for the end of the year is shown below:

= Units on hand × beginning unit price for each unit

= 365 units × $9

= $3,285
