The value of closing inventory using FIFO under perpetual inventory system is $9379

Explanation:

The FIFO or first in first out method is a method of inventory valuation which basis the value of ending inventory on the assumption that the inventories that were purchased first were the ones that were sold first and the closing or ending inventory is comprised of the most recent purchases.

The perpetual method of inventory recording makes real time record and changes in the inventory level as soon as a transaction relating to inventory occurs.

The ending inventory of the business can be calculated as follows:
