Answer 1

Answer

The correct answer is:

$16,600

Explanation:

The ending inventory is the total value of the inventory at hand, that was not sold for the year. To calculate this, we will subtract the total cost of goods sold from the total purchase. This is shown below:

Beginning inventory =                     $   19,600

Purchased inventory =                     $ 233,000

Total inventory value in the year = $ 252,600

Cost of goods sold = $ 236,000

Therefore, Ending inventory = Total inventory value in the year - Cost of goods sold

= 252,600 - 236,000 = $16,600
