    FIFO = $2,580

    LIFO = $2,325

    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    (1) 155 units at $7

    (2) 410 units at $8

    (3) 100 units at $9.

    Assuming there are 310 units on hand.

    FIFO (first-in, first-out) method:

    Ending inventory = last units purchased

    Inventory = 100*9 + 210*8 = $2,580

    LIFO (last-in, first-out)

    Inventory = first units purchased

    Inventory = 7*155 + 8*155 = $2,325
