Answer 1

Answer:

$980,000

Explanation:

Calculation for What amount should Bell report as inventory at the end of the year

Goods on hand $845,000

Add Goods in transit $95,500

Add Goods out on consignment $39,500

Ending Inventory $980,000

($845,000+$95,500+$39,500)

Therefore the amount that Bell should report as inventory at the end of the year will be $980,000
