Inventory value at Dollar valu LIFO method
so value at year end 2018 is $825200 and year end 2019 is $879200
Year Inventory at year end price Price index Inventory at base year price Change from prior yearInventory value at Dollar valu LIFO method
jan 1 2018 820000 100 820000 0 820000 end 2018 858000 104 825000 5000 (820000*1+5000*1.04)=825200 End 2019 945000 108 875000 50000 (820000*1+5000*1.04+50000*1.08)=879200
