    The value of ending inventory is $4950.

    Explanation:

    The FIFO or First In First Out method is a method of inventory valuation that follows that a business sells first the inventory that it purchased first. thus, the closing inventory is made up of in order of the most recent purchases and are valued at the price at which those units are purchases.

    The ending inventory of 25 units for Dolphin tools is made up of 20 units purchased at $195 and 5 units purchased at $210 by Dolphin.

    Thus, the year end inventory value under FIFO is,

    Ending inventory = 20 * 195 + 5 * 210 = $4950

    The dollar amount of inventory at the end of the year is $4,950

    Explanation:

    Because the inventory method is FIFO (first in first out) then the ending of inventory is last purchases

    Dolphin Tools has 25 units on hand at the end of the year, which include 20 units in 3rd purchase at $195 and 5 units in 2nd purchase at $210

    = 20 * $195 + 5*$210 = $4,950
