Answer 1

Instructios are below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

Purchases:

190 units at $5

300 units at $7

395 units at $9

Assuming there are 250 units on hand

1) FIFO (first-in, first out). Under the FIFO method, the ending inventory cost is calculated using the cost of the last units incorporated.

Ending inventory= 250*9= $2,250

2) LIFO (last-in, first-out). Under LIFO method, the ending inventory cost is calculated using the cost of the firsts units incorporated.

Ending inventory= 190*5 + 60*7= $1,370
