Answer:

$14,000

Explanation:

Under this periodic inventory, the latest purchase date is first recognized and then the previous date purchase is recognized for computing the ending inventory. The calculation is shown below:

Since the closing stock has 600 units out of 400 units is to be considered for $24 at March 22 date and the remaining 200 units would be taken at $22 each at March $15

= $9,600 + $4,400

= $14,000
