Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
Under the LIFO (Last-In, First-Out) method, the most recent purchases are sold first. The ending inventory consists of the earliest purchases. For 80 units:- First 30 units @ $8.00 = $240- Next 50 units (from the 120 units batch) @ $8.30 = $415Total = $240 + $415 = $655
