Answer:

Ending Inventory under LIFO $3,270

Explanation:

[tex]\left[\begin{array}{cccc}Month&Purchase&Sales&Remaining\\January&10&-6&4\\February&20&-5&15\\May&15&-9&6\\September&12&-8&1\\November&10&-13&0\\Total&67&-41&26\\\end{array}\right][/tex]

First: in LIFO you always start from the bottom line

subtracting the sales figure for each period.

Notice in nomvember the sales are greater than the amount purchased, so we decrease the september units by the diference

[tex]\left[\begin{array}{cccc}Month&Units&Cost&Subtotal\\January&4&120&480\\February&15&125&1,875\\May&6&130&780\\September&1&135&135\\November&0&140&0\\Total&26&-&3,270\\\end{array}\right][/tex]
