    FIFO Ending Inventory $ 24750

    LIFO Ending Inventory $ 19080

    Average Cost Method Ending Inventory $22,320

    Explanation:

    Date Units Unit Price Total Cost

    Jan. 1 Inventory 27 units $400 $ 10800

    Feb. 19 Purchase 54 units $460 $ 24840

    June 8 Purchase 63 units $520 $ 32760

    Oct. 7 Purchase 56 units $550 $ 30800

    Total 200 units $ 99200

    There are 45 units of the item in the physical inventory at December 31

    FIFO Ending Inventory

    45 units at $ 550 = $ 24750

    LIFO Ending Inventory $ 19080

    27 units at $ 400 = $ 10800

    18 units at $ 460 = $ 8280

    Average Cost Method Ending Inventory $ 22,320

    Units Cost = $ 99200 / 200 = $ 496

    45 units at $ 496 = 22,320
