    a. $4,790.

    Explanation:

    For LIFO we decrease from each month purchase the sales for the month as we sale the newest units first.

    January: 15 units at $160 8 units

    15 - 8 = 7 units left

    February: 25 units at $165 10 units

    25 - 10 = 15 units left

    May: 20 units at $170 14 units

    20 - 14 = 6 units left

    September: 17 units at $175 13 units

    17 - 13 = 4 units

    November: 15 units at $180 18 units

    15 - 18 = - 3 units

    As we more than we purchase we take units from the previous month:

    September 4 units - 3 = 1 left

    Ending Inventory

    7 units at $ 160 = 1,120

    15 units at $ 165 = 2,475

    6 units at $ 170 = 1,020

    1 units at $ 175 = 175

    total 4,790
