    Ending inventory under:

    FIFO = $3655

    LIFO = $3385

    Explanation:

    Ending Inventory under FIFO

    These 320 units purchased at the end will make up the ending inventory,

    135 units at $12 = $1620

    (320-135 = 185) 185 units at $11 = $2035

    Total cost of ending inventory = $3655

    Ending Inventory under LIFO

    The 320 units under LIFO will be the ones purchased at the start.

    135 units at $10 = $1350

    (320-135 = 185) 185 units at $11 = $2035

    Total cost of ending inventory $3385
