Answer 1

Answer:

$6490

Explanation:

The computation of the ending inventory is shown below:

= (January ending inventory in units × price) + (February ending inventory in units × price) + (May ending inventory in units × price) + (September ending inventory in units × price) + (November ending inventory in units × price)

= (8 units × $113) + (9 units × $124) + (13 units × $136) + (7 units × $144) + (11 units × $154)

= $904 + $1,116 + $1,768 + $1,008 + $1,694

= $6,490
