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.
