Answer:

$133,000

Explanation:

The computation of the inventory balance is shown below;

For 2022

= $143,000 ÷ 1.10

= $130,000

This involved two layes, the first one is $100,000 and $30,000 for the second one

Now the second one would be brought forward i.e.

= $30,000 × 1.10

= $33,000

Now the inventory balance would be

= $100,000 + $33,000

= $133,000

Therefore this is the answer but the same is not provided in the given options
