Answer:

Value of inventory =$466,040

Step-by-step explanation:

The value of goods in inventory

=Value of opening inventory + cost of purchases - cost of gold sold

Note that there is a gross profit on selling price, therefore the cost of the goods sold would be

Cost of goods sold = sales value - (40% × sales value)

= 1,924,500 - (40% × 1,924,500)

= 1,154,700.00

Value of inventory = 423,300 + (1,140,950 + 56,790) -1,154,700.00

=$466,040

Note that the freight-in was added as part of the cost of purchases on February 10
