The answer is $221

Explanation:

LIFO means Last in First out i. e the inventory that was bought last will be sold out first.

Opening balance:

November 1: 5 units at $19 each

Purchased:

November 2: 10 units at $21 each

Purchased:

November 6: 6 units at $24 each

Sold:

November 8: 10 units at $54 each

Total number of units bought plus Beginning inventory = 5 + 10 + 6 = 21 units

Therefore, number of units remaining at November 8 after sales is 21 - 10

=11 units.

So according to LIFO, we have:

6 units at $21 = $126

5units at $19 = $95

$95 + $126

=$221
