Using the LIFO inventory method, the value of the ending inventory on June 30 is

Answer 1

Ending inventory cost= $642.4

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

Date Number of units purchased Total cost

June 1 190 units $ 410 ($2.16)

June 10 200 units 580 ($2.9)

June 15 200 units 650

June 28 200 units 510

Ending inventory in units= 270

To calculate the value of ending inventory under the LIFO (last-in, first-out), we need to use the cost of the firsts units incorporated into inventory.

Ending inventory cost= 190*2.16 + 80*2.9

Ending inventory cost= $642.4
