59)
Under LIFO method assumes that goods which made their way to inventory (after purchase, manufacture etc.) later are sold first and those which are manufactured or acquired early are sold last. Thus LIFO assigns the cost of newer inventory to cost of goods sold and cost of older inventory to ending inventory account. This method is exactly opposite to first-in, first-out method.
The amount of inventory at the end will be =(10*55)+(15*65) =$ 1,525
therefore, option B is correct.
