Answer:

$4,536

Step-by-step explanation:

LIFO assumes that the units to arrive last will be sold first. Hence inventory valuation is based on the prices of earlier units.

Ending Inventory = 36 x $126 = $4,536

The value of the ending inventory using the LIFO method of inventory pricing is $4,536.
