1) Computation of Ending Inventory Value using FIFO:

December 15, 2017: $5,100*$107 = $545,700

July 23, 2017: 3,200*$103 = $329,600

Ending Inventory Value using FIFO = $875,300

So, the correct option is A "$875,300".

 

According to FIFO units purchased first will be sold out first.

 

2) Computation of Ending Inventory Value using LIFO:

May 1, 2017: 800*$104 = $83,200

May 7, 2017: (8,300-800)*$105 = $787,500

Ending Inventory Value using LIFO = $870,700

So, the correct option is B "$870,700".

 

According to LIFO Units purchased last will be sold out first.
