Answer 1

Answer:

$510 is costs assigned to ending inventory

Explanation:

According to Last-In- First-Out method of inventory valuation , items of stock received last is sold first.

As a result, the sale of 390 units on January 26 is from the purchases of 25 January (110 units), January 9 (80 units) and 200 units from the purchase made on  January 1st.

Above all, closing inventory is items bought on January 1st.

Value of closing inventory=150*$3.40=$510
