    ending inventory = $620

    Explanation:

    beginning inventory 100 units $300 $3 per unit

    purchases 900 units $2,880 $3.20 per unit

    ending inventory 200 units??

    Under FIFO method (first in, first out), the first units purchased (oldest) are the first units to be sold.

    Since the ending inventory = 200 units and using the FIFO method:

    100 units x $3 per unit = $300 100 units x $3.20 per unit = $320

    ending inventory = $300 + $320 = $620

    The value of the ending inventory is $ 640

    Explanation:

    First we have to make a table showing the inventory movements.

    Beginning inventory 100 units $ 300

    Purchases 900 units $ 2,880

    Ending inventory 200 units

    Adam Company uses the FIFO method which means that the units sold shall be valued at the opening inventory plus purchases. The ending inventory shall be priced at the purchase value.

    The unit value for purchases is $ 2,880/900 = $ 3.20 per unit.

    So the value of the ending inventory shall be

    200 units * $ 3.2 per unit = $ 640
