Under the FIFO method, the ending inventory is valued using the most recent purchases. The ending inventory of 12 units would be valued using the last purchases: 4 units at $5.80 and 8 units at $6.30, totaling $23.20 + $50.40 = $73.60. However, since $73.60 is not an option, the closest correct choice is $73.20, which suggests a possible error in the problem statement or options.
