Answer:

2022 ending inventory    229,200

2023 ending inventory     278,420

2024 ending inventory     266,920‬

Explanation:

Year at Year-End Costs    //////     at Base Year Costs

2022         $ 239,400                       $ 228,000

2023         $  312,800                       $ 272,000

2024         $  314,400                       $ 262,000

2022:

239,400 / 228,000 = 1.05 price index

Layers:

204,000 at 1.00                  =   204,000

(228,000 - 204,000) x 1.05 =   25,200

Total Inventory                         229,200

2023:

312,800 / 272,000 = 1.15 price index

Layers

204,000 at 1.00                        204,000

 24,000 at 1.05                           25,200

(272,000  - 229,200) x 1.15  =     49,220  

Total Inventory                           278,420

2024:

As the base inventory decreased we have to decrease previous layer rather than create a new one.

204,000 at 1.00                        204,000

 24,000 at 1.05                           25,200

( 262,000 - 229,200 ) x 1.15        37,720

Total Inventory                          266,920‬
