Answer:

c) $20,000.

Explanation:

The computation of the estimated ending inventory is shown below:

We know that

Cost of goods sold = Beginning inventory + purchase made - ending inventory

And, the

Sales - gross profit = Cost of goods sold

$100,000 - $100,000 × 30% = Cost of goods sold

So, cost of goods sold would be

= $100,000 - $30,000

= $70,000

Now the ending inventory would be

$70,000 = $18,000 + $72,000 - ending inventory

$70,000 = $90,000 - ending inventory

So, the ending inventory would be

= $90,000 - $70,000

= $20,000
