    2021: 784,160‬ dollars

    2022: 864,308 dsollars

    Explanation:

    At year-end we must adjust by the difference in the cost indexes

    Assumuning the beginning of 2021 is 1.00 and ending of 2021 1.04 then, inventory should be:

    2021 ending inventory:

    754,000 * 1.04 = 784,160‬

    Then, at 2022 we adjust for the quotient between 2021 and 2022 indexes:

    848,00 x 1.06/1.04 = 864,307.6923 = 864,308
