Answer:

LIFO (last-in, first-out)= $191

FIFO (first-in, first-out)= 240.45

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Purchases during 2019 were as follows:

January:

21 + 17= 38 units

Unitary cost= 201/38= 5.30

September

20+18=38

214/38= 5.64

November

201/29= 6.93

December 31, 2019, inventory included 11 blowers and 25 mowers.

Total inventory= 36 units

LIFO (last-in, first-out):

36*5.30= $191

FIFO (first-in, first-out)

29*6.93 + 7*5.64= 240.45
