    A) Cost of inventory = $1120

    B) Cost of inventory = $700

    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    Purchases:

    (1) 240 units at $5

    (2) 340 units at $7

    (3) 440 units at $8.

    Total units = 1020

    There are 140 units on hand at the end of the period.

    A) FIFO (first-in, first-out)

    Cost of inventory = 140 * 8 = $1120

    B) LIFO (last-in, first-out)

    Cost of inventory = 140*5 = 700
