Using the LIFO inventory method, the value of the ending inventory on June 30 is $1508. $1848. $1456. $1824.

Answer 1

Answer:

a. $1508

Explanation:

June 1    150 units

June 10  200 units

June 15  200 units

June 28  150 units

Total       700 units

Out of above, only 210 units are in hand. Under LIFO method, 150 units are from 1st June and 60 units are from 10th June.

Date     Units (a)  Per unit cost (b)  Ending inventory (a*b)

June 1       150      $6.93 (1040/150)        $1.040

June 10     60       $7.8 (1560/200)          $468

Total         210                                           $1,508

So, using the LIFO inventory method, the value of the ending inventory on June 30 is $1,508
