Question 1 Use the information in this table to calculate the value of the ending inventory using the LIFO method, assuming that 42 units remain. Using the LIFO method, assume that all from the July 2 beginning inventory remain: 15 x $145 = $2,175 42 – 15 = 27 more units remain Assume that all 25 from the July 31 purchase remain: 25 x $148 = $3,700 You have now accounted for 40 of the 42 units. Thus, 2 units from the August 15 purchase remain: 2 x $150 = $300 $2,175 + $3,700 + $300 = $6,175 ending LIFO value Atef Abuelaish
