December 31 Year-End Costs (Relative to Base Year)
2018 $ 438,780 1.03

Calculation of Inventory amount at the end of each year

1) 2018 inventory to base year prices = $438,780/1.03 = $426,000

2018 LIFO Layer = $426,000 - $350,000 = $76,000

New LIFO Layer at the end of year prices = $76,000*1.03 = $78,280

Inventory amount at the end of 2018 = $350,000+$78,280 = $428,280

2) 2019 inventory to base year prices = $451,540/1.07 = $422,000

2019 LIFO Layer liquidation = $422,000 - $426,000 = -$4,000

Inventory amount at the end of 2019 = $350,000+[($76,000-$4,000)*1.03] = $424,160

3) 2020 inventory to base year prices = $508,680/1.08 = $471,000

2020 LIFO Layer = $471,000 - $422,000 = $49,000

LIFO Layer at the end of year prices = $49,000*1.08 = $52,920

Inventory amount at the end of 2019 = $424,160+$52,920 = $477,080

4) 2021 inventory to base year prices = $548,895/1.11 = $494,500

2020 LIFO Layer = $494,500 - $471,000 = $23,500

LIFO Layer at the end of year prices = $23,500*1.11 = $26,085

Inventory amount at the end of 2019 = $477,080+$26,085 = $503,165
