Accounting

Hello, I need some help figuring out how to calculate the second answer for this accounting problem. I have tried to answer it multiple times, but I am still getting the wrong answer. Thank you.

image Your answer is partially correct. Ayayai Company began operations on January 1,2024, adopting the conventional retail inventory system. None of the company's merchandise was marked down in 2024 and, because there was no beginning inventory, its ending inventory for 2024 of $31,476 would have been the same under either the conventional retail system or the LIFO retail system. On December 31,2025, the store management considers adopting the LIFO retail system and desires to know how the December 31 , 2025 , inventory would appear under both systems. All pertinent data regarding purchases, sales, markups, and markdowns are shown below. There has been no change in the price level. Determine the cost of the 2025 ending inventory under both (a) the conventional retail method and (b) the LIFO retail method. (Round ratios for computational purposes to 2 decimal place, e.g. 78.72% and final answers to 0 decimal places, e.g. 28,987.) (a) Ending inventory using conventional retail method \$ (b) Ending inventory LIFO retail method $
