    Ending inventory (LIFO) = $1200

    Ending inventory (FIFO) = $1800

    Explanation:

    given data

    (1) 300 units = $6

    (2) 400 units = $8

    (3) 500 units = $9

    end of the period unit on hand = 200 unit

    solution

    LIFO

    as here 200 units left at end-of-period

    so Ending inventory (LIFO) = (200 * $6)

    Ending inventory (LIFO) = $1200

    and

    FIFO

    as here 200 units left at end-of-period

    so Ending inventory (FIFO) = (200 * $9)

    Ending inventory (FIFO) = $1800
