Answer:

$144,000

Explanation:

The computation of the estimation of the inventory cost at the ending is shown below:

As we know that

Ending inventory = Opening inventory + net purchase - cost of goods sold

= opening inventory + purchase - purchase return - cost of goods sold

= $220,000 + $172,000 - $8,000 - ($300,000 ÷ 125%)

= $220,000 + $164,000 - $240,000

= $144,000

We simply applied the above formula to determine the ending inventory cost
