Answer:

The value of ending inventory using FIFO is $1,375

Explanation:

Under FIFO the items of inventory purchases earlier will be sold first and the items purchased later will be sold at last.

First, we need to calculate the total available inventory units

Numbers of units available to sale = Beginning Inventory + First purchase  + Second purchase + Third purchase  = 10 units + 25 units + 30 units + 15 units = 80 units

Now 60 units out of 80 are sold the remaining 20 units ( 80 units - 60 units ) will be in the ending inventory.

As per FIFO 20 units will be values as per the last 20 units purchases which will be as follow

Ending Invetory = ( 15 units x $70 ) + ( (20-15) units x $65 ) = $1,375
