    option (A) $500

    Explanation:

    Given:

    Date Transaction Number of Units Unit Cost

    Apr. 1 Beginning inventory 500 $2.40

    Apr. 20 Purchase 400 $2.50

    Now,

    Number of units sold = 700

    Number of units available for sale = Beginning Inventory + Purchases

    = 500 + 400

    = 900

    Now,

    using the LIFO approach,

    700 units that has been sold includes 500 units of beginning inventory and 200 units of April 20 purchases.

    Therefore,

    Ending Inventory = Number of units available for sale - Number of units sold

    = 900 - 700

    = 200 units

    Cost of ending inventory = 200 units * $2.50

    = $500

    Hence,

    The correct answer is option (A) $500

    Option (A) is correct.

    Explanation:

    Dunbar sold 700 units during the month.

    Dunbar uses FIFO inventory system,

    Number of units available for sale = Beginning Inventory + Purchases

    Number of units available for sale = 500 + 400

    Number of units available for sale = 900

    700 units sold includes 500 units of beginning inventory and 200 units of April 20 purchases.

    Ending Inventory = Number of units available for sale - Number of units sold

    Ending Inventory = 900 - 700

    Ending Inventory = 200 units

    Ending Inventory includes 200 units of April 20 purchases:

    Ending Inventory = 200 units * $2.50

    Ending Inventory = $500
