See explanation section.

Explanation:

We know, first in first out (FIFO) inventory system shows that items were sold those were purchase earlier.

Cost of good sold under FIFO method,

Jan. 1 Beginning inventory 50 units * $75 = $3,750

May. 5 Purchase 215 units * $78 = $16,770

Nov. 3 Purchase 150 units * $83 = $12,450

Cost of good sold 415 units = $32,970

Ending inventory = Total inventory - cost of good sold

Ending inventory = 430 units - 415 units = 15 units

Cost of inventory = Total cost - Cost of good sold

Cost of inventory = $34,215 - $32,970 = $1,245
