Answer 1

$539.50

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the value of the ending inventory using the LIFO method is shown below:

Since there is 200 units on hand

The 150 units taken at $390 and the remaining units i.e 50 units at $598 so the ending inventory is

= 150 units × $2.6 + 50 units × $2.99

= $390 + $149.50

= $539.50

The per unit is come from

= $390 ÷ 150 units = $2.6

And,

= $598 ÷ 200 units = $2.99
