Answer:

b) $3,200.

Explanation:

LIFO assumes that the units to arrive last will be sold first. This means that valuation of inventory is based on prices of earlier units purchased.

Calculation

Ending Inventory  = 10 x $120 + 16 x $125

                              = $3,200

Therefore,

Using the LIFO inventory valuation method, the cost of the ending inventory is  $3,200.
