    UNITS UNIT PRICE VALUE
    1 Jan 2001 Balance b/f. 100 5 500

    What is the value of closing inventory if LIFO is used?

    Sir the answer in the book was $410

    I don’t understand how this was the answer sir
    I feel like the book has calulated the value of issue on 9th september instead of finding the closing inventory

    This is how I tried to find the answer of closing inventory sir

    (60*5)+(30*5.5)

    Please help me figure out where I went wrong sir

    60*5

    Assuming that you have copied the question correctly (and that is does ask for the value of the closing inventory) then it seems there is a mistake in your book, because the correct answer is $465 as you have calculated.

    If it is a question in the current edition of the BPP Revision Kit then tell me which one and I will check.
