    (A) $390,000

    Explanation:

    Under LIFO method as the name suggests "Last In First Out"

    the goods purchased in Last that is latest are sold first, that is goods purchased in 2015 will be sold first, therefore in the given case at the end of 2014 using LIFO we have,

    Balance = $390,000

    Because balance of goods purchased in 2014 i. e. $756,000 is sold first in 2014 remaining inventory at year end will be of 2013

    Correct option is

    (A) $390,000
