weighted average cost method
Average Unit cost: $3500/2100 = $1.666667
Ending inventory: 425 units @ $1.666667 = $708.3333

ANSWER is C



LIFO Method

1675 units sold
           = 800 units at $1.75 unit cost
           = 875 units at $1.65 unit cost

           Cost of goods sold = 800*1.75+875*1.65
           = $1,400 + $1,443.75 = $2,843.75

Cost of ending inventory
           = 125 units at $1.65 unit cost
           = 300 units at $1.50 unit cost
           = $206.25 + $450 = $656.25

ANSWER is B
