Answer:
The value of inventory destroyed=$4,082,000
Explanation:
<em>The value of the inventory destroyed is the difference between the the cost of the total goods available for sale and the cost of goods sold</em>
The value of inventory destroyed = cost of goods available for sale - value of inventory sold
Cost of goods sold = 3540,000 - (20%× 3540,000)= 2,832,000
The cost of goods available for dale = opening inventory + purchases + freight charges
$5300000 + $1432000 + $182000 = 6,914,000
The value of inventory destroyed = 6,914,000
- 2,832,000
= 4082000
The value of inventory destroyed=$4,082,000
