Answer 1

Answer: $4,950

Explanation:

If the company is using the First In First Out method for Inventory valuation then the earlier inventory is sold off first which would mean that the inventory at year end will be the more recent inventory.

The 25 units at the end of the year will be the most recent units purchased and so will be;

20 units from the third purchase

5 units from the 2nd purchase

Inventory value = (20 * 195) + ( 5 * 210)

= $4,950

The options are not for this question.
