Solution

The June 2 at 15andtheJuly4at15 and the July 4 at 20 are both sold; the June 1 at $10 remains in ending inventory. This is because under the LIFO (Last In, First Out) perpetual cost flow assumption, the last items purchased are the first ones to be sold. Therefore, the units bought on June 2 and July 4 would be sold first, leaving the unit bought on June 1 in the ending inventory.
