Answer:

A. $68,200

Explanation:

Retail Cost

Beginning inventory $60,000

$120,000

Plus: Net purchases. $312,000

$480,000

Goods available for sale $372,000

$600,000

Cost to retail percentage = $372,000 ÷ $600,000 = 62%

Less : Net sales

($490,000)

Estimated ending inventory at retail

$110,000

Estimated ending inventory at cost

62% × $110,000 = $68,200
