    Answer: A $304

    Explanation: LIFO means last in first out. It means it is the older inventory that is sold off first.

    On November 1, total value of inventory = $20 * 5 = $100

    On November 2, total value of inventory = $100 + ($22 * 10) = $320

    On November 6, total value of inventory = $320 + ($25*6) = $470

    On November 8, 8 units of inventory was sold. This would be taken from the older stock of inventory. These inventories are the those from November 1 and 2.

    The remaining inventory after the sale = (7 * 22) + 150 = $304
