Answer:

$1,209,100

Explanation:

The computation of the cost of the ending inventory as on Dec 31,2021 is shown below:

= Inventory as on Dec 31,2019 + {(Inventory as on Dec 31,2021 ÷ 2021 price index × 2019 price index) - Inventory as on Dec 31,2019} × 2021 price index ÷ 2019 price index

= $1,000,000 + {($1,439,100 ÷ 1.23 × 1) - $1,000,000} × 1.23 ÷ 1

= $1,000,000 + ($1,170,000 - $1,000,000) × 1.23

= $1,000,000 + $209,100

= $1,209,100
