Answer:

C. $125,550

Explanation:

Given that

At beginning = 7200unit at $12 each

During = 3000unit at $13

= 12000 unit at $13.50

Sold = 12900 unit.

Therefore, USING FIFO

Unit sold

= (7200 × 12) + (3000 × 13) + (2700 × 13.50)

= 86400 + 39000 + 36450

= $161850.

Thus, inventory remaining

= (12000 - 2700) × 13.50

= 9300 × 13.50

= $ 125,550

Ending inventory = $125,550
