Explanation:
The computation of ending inventory is shown below:-
Year     Inventory    Price index  Inventory at base   Change from prior
        at end year                year             years
2017 Â Â Â Â $1,250,000 Â Â 100 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â $1,250,000 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 0
2018 Â Â Â $1,575,000 Â Â Â 105 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â $1,500,000 Â Â Â Â Â $250,000
2019 Â Â Â Â $1,573,000 Â Â 110 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â $1,430,000 Â Â Â Â Â Â ($70,000)
2020 Â Â Â $1,872,000 Â Â 117 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â $1,600,000 Â Â Â Â Â $170,000
Inventory at base year prices
2017 = $1,250,000 ÷ 100 × 100 = $1,250,000
2018 = $1,575,000 ÷ 105 × 100 = $1,500,000
2019 = $1,573,000 ÷ 110 × 100 = $1,430,000
2020 = $1,872,000 ÷ 117 × 100 = $1,600,000
So, dollar value ending inventory
2017     $1,250,000 × 1.0 = $1,250,000
                        $1,250,000
2018     $1,250,000 × 1.0 = $1,250,000
        $250,000 × 1.05 = $262,500
                        $1,512,500
2019     $1,250,000 × 1.0 = $1,250,000
($250,000 - $70,000) × 1.05 = $189,000
                          $1,439,000
2020    $1,250,000 × 1.0 = $1,250,000
($250,000 - $70,000) × 1.05 = $189,000
           $170,000 × 1.17 = $198,900
                          $1,637,900
2017 Â $1,250,000
2018 Â $1,512,500
2019 Â $1,439,000
2020 Â $1,637,900
