Respuesta :

Answer: $1,175,000

Explanation:

Cost of ending inventory December 31, 2021;

= December 2019 ending inventory + {(Inventory at 2021 price/2021 index * 2019 index) - December 2019 ending inventory} * 2021 index / 2019 index

= 1,100,000 + {(1,450,000/125 * 100) - 1,100,000} * 125/100

= ‭1,100,000‬ + 75,000

= $1,175,000
