Respuesta :

Answer:

$1,205

Explanation:

Given:

Beginning inventory = 10 units at $49

First purchase = 15 units at $55

Second purchase = 53 units at $55

Third purchase = 18 units at $57

Ending inventory of commodity is 23 units

Total purchases = 10 + 15 + 53 + 18 = 96 units

So, units of commodity Z sold = 96 - 23 = 73

Since, LIFO method is used, last commodity purchased would be sold first.

So, after selling 73 units, 13 units at $55 and 10 units at $49 is left as ending inventory.

Value of ending inventory = 13 × 55 + (10 × 49)

                                            = $1,205
