Answer:

$76,680

Explanation:

With regards to the above

Using the cost method

Goods available for sale:

= Beginning inventory + Purchases

= $120,000 + $383,000

= $503,000

Using retail method

Goods available for sale

= Beginning inventory + Purchases + Net markups - Net markdowns

= $146,000 + $580,000 + $33,000 - $51,000

= $708,000

Now, cost to retail ratio

= $503,000 ÷ $708,000

= 0.71

Estimated ending inventory at retail

= Goods available for sale under retail method - Net sales revenue

= $708,000 - $600,000

= $108,000

Therefore, estimated ending inventory = Estimated ending inventory at retail × Cost to retail ratio

= $108,000 × 0.71

= $76,680
