    Ending inventory cost = $1,494

    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    Beginning Inventory: 300 $780

    Purchases:

    May 10: 400 units for $1,170

    June 15: 500 units for $1,260 ($2.52 per unit)

    August 28: 300 units for $990 ($3.3 per unit)

    The company had 500 units were in its ending inventory at the end of the year.

    Under FIFO (first-in, first-out), the ending inventory cost is calculated using the cost of the last units incorporated.

    Ending inventory cost = 300*3.3 + 200*2.52 = $1,494
