Given the following data what is the ending inventory value using the LIFO method?

50 units at $50/unit |
25 units at $55/unit |
60 units at $45/unit |
30 units at $50/unit |
70 units at $40/unit |
45 units at $45/unit |

The correct answer was A.
Purchased 50 + 60 + 70 = 180 units. Sold 25 + 30 + 45 = 100.
Ending inventory = 180 -100 = 80 of the first units purchased.
(50 units)($50/unit) + (30 units)($45/unit) = $2,500 + $1,350 = $3,850. |
