Answer:

C )

Step-by-Step explanation

Ending inventory units = Beginning inventory units + First purchased units + Second purchased units + Third purchased units - Sales units

= 80 units + 200 units + 150 units + 50 units - 220 units

= 260 units

Under the LIFO method, the first purchased items are included in the ending inventory.

Ending inventory under the LIFO method = 80 units from the beginning inventory + (260 units - 80 units) from first purchases

= (80 units x $7.50) + ((260 units - 80 units) x $9.00)

= $600 + (180 units x $9.00)

= $600 + $1,620

= $2,220
