Ending Inventory Periodic LIFO 12,000

Step-by-step explanation

under LIFO periodic we should wait until the entire year is over before assigning the costs and do physical count. here in the problem we can calculate the ending inventory using by:

 

Ending inventory March 30 periodic                                    600 units
