Closing inventory - $10,160

Costs of goods sold - $9,600

Explanation:

Under the LIFO Method, the cost of good sold equals to

= April 23 units * cost per unit + Remaining units * cost per unit

= 300 units * $22 + 150 units * $20

= $6,600 + $3,000

= $9,600

Since the firm has sold 450 units, so out of which 300 units sold at a price of $22 and the remaining 150 units sold at a price of $20

The ending inventory equals to

= Remaining units * cost per unit + April 1 * cost per unit

= 270 units * $20 + 280 units * $17

= $5,400 + $4,760

= $10,160

Since on April 23, the 420 units were purchase, out of which 150 units are transferred to the cost of good sold and the remaining units 270 units at $20 is transferred to the ending inventory
