1. **State the problem:** Simplify the expression
$$\frac{(xyz^2)^{-1}}{x^2y^{-1}z^3} \div \left(\frac{x^3y^2z^0}{x^4y^2z^{-3}}\right)^{-1} \times \frac{xy^2z^4}{x^{-3}y^2z^0}$$
2. **Recall the rules:**
- Negative exponents: $a^{-n} = \frac{1}{a^n}$
- Division of powers: $\frac{a^m}{a^n} = a^{m-n}$
- Multiplication of powers: $a^m \times a^n = a^{m+n}$
- Power of a power: $(a^m)^n = a^{mn}$
- $z^0 = 1$
3. **Simplify each part:**
- First fraction numerator: $(xyz^2)^{-1} = x^{-1}y^{-1}z^{-2}$
- First fraction denominator: $x^2 y^{-1} z^3$
So first fraction:
$$\frac{x^{-1} y^{-1} z^{-2}}{x^2 y^{-1} z^3} = x^{-1-2} y^{-1-(-1)} z^{-2-3} = x^{-3} y^{0} z^{-5} = \frac{x^{-3} z^{-5}}{1}$$
4. **Simplify second fraction inside parentheses:**
$$\frac{x^3 y^2 z^0}{x^4 y^2 z^{-3}} = x^{3-4} y^{2-2} z^{0-(-3)} = x^{-1} y^{0} z^{3} = x^{-1} z^{3}$$
5. **Apply the negative exponent outside parentheses:**
$$\left(x^{-1} z^{3}\right)^{-1} = x^{1} z^{-3}$$
6. **Rewrite the entire expression:**
$$x^{-3} z^{-5} \times x^{1} z^{-3} \times \frac{x^{1} y^{2} z^{4}}{x^{-3} y^{2} z^{0}}$$
7. **Simplify the third fraction:**
$$\frac{x^{1} y^{2} z^{4}}{x^{-3} y^{2} z^{0}} = x^{1 - (-3)} y^{2 - 2} z^{4 - 0} = x^{4} y^{0} z^{4} = x^{4} z^{4}$$
8. **Multiply all parts:**
$$x^{-3} z^{-5} \times x^{1} z^{-3} \times x^{4} z^{4} = x^{-3 + 1 + 4} z^{-5 - 3 + 4} = x^{2} z^{-4} = \frac{x^{2}}{z^{4}}$$
**Final answer:**
$$\boxed{\frac{x^{2}}{z^{4}}}$$
