Answer:

$6,755

Explanation:

The computation of the cost of the ending inventory using the perpetual LIFO method is as follows:

For January:

Total value = Units remaining in inventory × cost per unit

= (23 - 17) × $205

= $1,230

For February:

Total value = Units remaining in inventory × cost per unit

= (33 - 17) × $210

= $3,360

For May:

Total value = Units remaining in inventory × cost per unit

= (28 - $21) × $215

= $1,505

For September:

Total value = Units remaining in inventory × cost per unit

= (25 - 20) × $220

= $1,100

For November:

Total value = Units remaining in inventory × cost per unit

= (25 - 23) × $220

= $660

Cost of the ending inventory:

= $1,230 + $3,360 + $1,505 + $660

= $6,755
