c. The value of ending Inventory using Average Cost method is $2713.

We have:

Date Explanation Units unit cost Total Cost

Sep-01 inv 11 97 1067

Sep-12 purchases 44 100 4400

Sep-19 purchases 47 101 4747

Sep-26 purchases 22 102 2244

Total 124 12458

Novak sold 97 snowboards, so the number of snowboards with it at the end of September is $124 -97 = 27 units$ .

If Novak adopts First In First Out (FIFO) method, and 27 units are remaining, all 22 units purchased on Sept-26th and $27 -22 = 5 units$ from the purchases made on Sept-19th will remain in inventory.

So the value of inventory using FIFO will be $(22* 102) + (5*101) = 2749$

If Novak adopts Last In First Out (LIFO) method, all 11 units in inventory on Sept-01st and $27 -11 = 16 units$ from the purchases made on Sept-12th will remain in inventory.
