Respuesta :

Answer:

Inventory to be reported is  125200

Adjust inventory to base year prices  

$136400/1.1=  124000

CURRENT YEAR LIFO LAYER  

$124000-$112000=  12000

Add the new lifo layer at end of period prices  

to prior year lifo inventory  

112000*1= 112000  

12000*1.1= 13200  

inventory to be shown 125200
