Trudy - if you understand what LIFO and FIFO are, this kind of problem isn't too difficult. Do you understand how LIFO and FIFO techniques effect the value of inventory? Try listing out a running chronological history of each activity and its effect on inventory value - that is, as each addition is made to inventory and each sale made of inventory, keep a running balance of the inventory that remains.
