Please provide step by step to the answer. Thank you!
Value of ending inventory = $1,192
As the company uses Lifo method, units purchased last are sold first.
Now we have 180 units of ending inventory. As the company uses Lifo, among these 180 units, 135 belong to June 1 purchases. And remaining 45 units (180-138)belong to June 10 purchases.
Value of inventory = $890 + [(1208/180)x45]
Here we are calculating cost of one unit for June 10 purchases and multiplying with 45 units
= $890+$302
=$1,192
