In This question it is assumed that there is $26,000 of beginning inventory of the goods. $470,000 of the purchases were made and at the end of the year there was $42,000 balance of inventory.
We can calculate the deduction value as follow
Ending Inventory = Beginning Inventory + Purchases - deduction
$42000 = $26,000 + $470,000 - deduction
$42000 = $496,000 - deduction
Deduction = $496,000 - $42,000 = $454,000
