under LIFO units acquired last are sold first so ending inventoryis left from beginning or initial purchase.
cost | Retail | cost /retail ratio | |
Beginning inventory | 12000 | 25000 | 12000/25000 = 0.48 or 48% |
Purchase | 48000 | 79000 | |
markup | 5000 | ||
markdown | (4000) | ||
Total inventory (excluding beginning inventory ) | 48000 | 80000 | 48000/80000= .60 or 60% |
Total inventory (including beginning inventory) | 48000+12000= 60000 | 80000+25000=105000 | |
less:sales | (91000) | ||
Ending inventory at retaiil | 14000 |

Ending inventory at cost = inventory at retail * cost to retail ratio (beg)
= 14000*.48 = 6720
