I appreciate your help... but in my homework the answers are 1250, 1500, 1000, 2250. I've been trying to solve these FIFI for like 10 hours already. Thank you for your help again.

I think Pready may have left, so let me answer this for you. He gave you the order in which the items are deemed sold. Your question is looking for the remaining balance, so using what he told you the remaining balance of 50 (100+100-150) would be valued at $30 each. Please ask if you are still confused.
