Answer:

$248

Explanation:

The LIFO inventory method implies that the inventory that was purchased last would be the first to be sold.

Here, we would compute the inventory units as seen below;

= 5 units + 9 units + 5 units - 8 units

= 11 units

Now, the value of inventory is;

= 5 units × $16 + 6 units × $28

= $80 + $168

= $248.

The 6 units come from

= 11 units - 5 units

= 6 units.

Therefore, the value of inventory is $248.
