Question

Navneet Dhaliwal · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : B, Explanation :  Without the specific table data, the correct answer cannot be determined through calculation. However, the LIFO (Last In, First Out) perpetual inventory method assumes that the most recently purchased items are sold first. This method affects the cost of goods sold and ending inventory values based on the timing and cost of inventory purchases. The choice provided as correct (B) is selected based on the premise of a hypothetical scenario where the calculation aligns with the principles of LIFO in a perpetual inventory system.
