option C

Step-by-step explanation:

given,

Beginning inventory 10 units @ $10 per unit

First purchase 35 units @ $11 per unit

Second purchase 40 units @ $12 per unit

Third purchase 15 units @ $13 per unit

first sale = 20 units

second sale = 35 units

now,

unit left after first sale = 35 - 20 = 15 units @ $11 per unit

unit left after second sale = 40 - 35 = 5 @ $12 per unit

third purchase = 15 units @ $13 per unit

inventory = 10 units @ $10 per unit + 15 units @ $11 per unit + 5 @ $12 per unit + 15 units @ $13 per unit

= 100 + 165 + 60 + 195

= $ 520

hence, the correct answer is option C
