    The answer is $221

    Explanation:

    LIFO means Last in First out i. e the inventory that was bought last will be sold out first.

    Opening balance:

    November 1: 5 units at $19 each

    Purchased:

    November 2: 10 units at $21 each

    Purchased:

    November 6: 6 units at $24 each

    Sold:

    November 8: 10 units at $54 each

    Total number of units bought plus Beginning inventory = 5 + 10 + 6 = 21 units

    Therefore, number of units remaining at November 8 after sales is 21 - 10

    =11 units.

    So according to LIFO, we have:

    6 units at $21 = $126

    5units at $19 = $95

    $95 + $126

    =$221
