Answer:

A )

Step-by-Step explanation

LIFO cost flow method says that the most recently purchased inventory will be assigned first to the cost of goods sold. Hence, the sales made of 900 units will include the following inventories:

 

100 units @ 4.80 purchased on May 23 = $480

500 units @ 4.60 purchased on May 17 = $2,300

300 units @ 4.40 purchased on May 07 = $1,320

The total cost of goods sold = $4,100.
