Answer 1

Ending inventory= $5,040

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

Beginning Inventory= 1000 units for $7.20

Mar. 10: Purchase= 600 units for $7.25

Mar. 16: Purchase= 800 units for $7.30

Mar. 23: Purchase= 600 units for $7.35

Marvin sold 2,300 units.

Under the LIFO inventory method, the ending inventory cost is calculated using the first units incorporated to inventory.

Ending inventory in units= total units - units sold

Ending inventory in units= 3,000 - 2,300= 700 units

Ending inventory= 700*7.2= $5,040
