a. $655
b. $620
c. $690
d. $659

c. $690

Explanation:

In FIFO method, A company can sell those products which it has purchased earlier.

Beginning Inventory  = 10 units x $30   = $ 300

First Purchase            = 25 units x $32  = $ 800

Second purchase      = 30 units x $34   =$1,020

Third purchase          = 10 units  x $35   =$  350

Total costs (75 units) = $2,470

As the firm uses FIFO inventory method, it has 20 inventory in hands,

Therefore, 10 units from the last purchase (third) and 10 units from second purchase will be remained unsold.

Hence, Ending inventory cost =

Second purchase 10 units x $34 = $340

Third purchase     10 units x $35 = $350

Total ending inventory cost       = $690
