The ending inventory value under the dollar-value LIFO method equals.

Step by step solution

01

Definition of dollar-value LIFO retail method

The ending inventory at LIFO cost is calculated as follows:

Calculation of Ending Inventory at LIFO Cost

Ending inventory at retail (deflated) ($100,100/1.10)

$91,000

Beginning inventory at retail

74,500

Real increase in inventory at retail

16,500

Ending inventory at retail on LIFO basis

First layer

36,000

Second layer ($16,500 x 1.10 x 60%)

10,890

$46,890

Thus, the ending inventory is $46,890.
