Inventory at the end of December, 2013
$487,963 @ 1.00 = $487,963
Inventory at the end of December, 2014
$487,963 @ 1.00 = $487,963
1@1.08 = 0
$64,211 @ 1.15 = $73,842.65
$487,963 + $73,842.65 = $561,806
Inventory at the end of December, 2015
$487,963 @ 1.00 = $487,963
0 @ 1.08 = 0
$45,095 @ 1.15 = $51,859.25
0 @ 1.21 = 0
$487,963 + $51,859.25 =$539,822
