    Instructions are listed below.

    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    Jan. 1: Inventory 40 units at $165

    Aug. 13: Purchase 200 units at $180

    Nov. 30: Purchase 60 units at $200

    Available for sale 300 units

    There are 75 Units of the item in the physical inventory on December 31.

    1) FIFO (first-in, first-out)

    The cost of ending inventory is the cost of the last units bought.

    Ending inventory = 60*200 + 15*180 = $14,700

    2) LIFO (last-in, first-out)

    The cost of the ending inventory is the cost of the first units bought.

    Ending inventory = 40*165 + 35*180 = $12,900

    3) Weighted-average:

    Weighted average price = (165 + 180 + 200) / 3 = 181.67

    Ending inventory = 181.67*75 = $13,625.25
