Explanation / Answer

Solution:

Total unit sold during the month = 1500 units

Under LIFO units purchased last will be considered as sold first.

Therefore 1500 units sold consist - 500 units at $520 per unit, 100 units at $600 per unit and 900 units at $560 per unit

Cost of goods sold = (500*$520) + (100*$600) + (900*$560) = $824,000

Hence 3rd option is the right choice.
