Answer:

a. $4,790.

Explanation:

For LIFO we decrease from each month purchase the sales for the month as we sale the newest units first.

January: 15 units at $160  8 units

15 - 8 = 7 units left

February: 25 units at $165 10 units

25 - 10 = 15 units left

May: 20 units at $170 14 units

20 - 14 = 6 units left

September: 17 units at $175 13 units

17 - 13 = 4 units

November: 15 units at $180 18 units

15 - 18 =  -3 units

As we more than we purchase we take units from the previous month:

September 4 units - 3 = 1 left

Ending Inventory

7 units  at   $ 160  =  1,120

15 units at  $ 165   =  2,475

6 units  at $  170  =   1,020

1  units  at $ 175   =      175

total                           4,790
