    period: 3,700

    perpetual: 4,200

    Explanation:

    periodic system:

    available goods:

    800 + 1000 + 2000 + 800 = 4,600

    sales: 1,500 + 1,600 = 3,100

    ending inventory 1,500 units

    under LIFO we sale the newest units first so the ending inventory is compose of the beginning inventory + oldest purchase:

    ending inventory 1,500

    beginning inventory (800)

    from purchase 700

    Ending inventory valuation:

    800 x 2 + 700 x 3 = 1,600 + 2,100 = $3,700

    Perpetual System:

    We evaluate after each sale so:

    inventory available at first sale:

    beginning 800

    2/8 purchase 1,000

    sale for (1,500)

    ending inventory 300 units of beginning inventory

    inventory available at second sale:

    beginning 300 units

    2/17 purchase 2,000

    Sales for (1,600) units

    ending inventory:

    beginning 300 units x 2 = 600

    2/17 purchase 400 units x 1 = 400

    + 2/28 purchase 800 units x 4 = 3,200

    total valuation 4,200
