Explanation:

Ending Inventory for 2014

Ending Inventory of 2013                 $138,500

($138,500 x 1.00)

Add: $8,200* x 1.13                            $9,266

Total                                                   $147,766

Here,

$165,771 ÷ 1.13= $146,700

$146,700 – $138,500 = $8,200

Ending Inventory for 2015

Ending Inventory or 2013                  $138,500  

($138,500 x 1.00)  

Add:   $8,200 x 1.13               9,266

          $7,000** x 1.18                8,260

Total                                             $156,026

Here,

$153,700 – $146,700 = $7,000
