Solution

To calculate the cost of goods available for sale, you need to add the beginning inventory to the net purchases. Net purchases is calculated by subtracting purchase returns and allowances and discount received from purchases, and then adding freight-in.

Here's the step-by-step calculation:

  1. Calculate Net Purchases: Purchases - Purchase returns and allowances - Discount received + Freight-in = 500,000500,000 - 8,000 - 4,000+4,000 + 2,000 = $490,000

  2. Add the Beginning Inventory to the Net Purchases: Beginning Inventory + Net Purchases = 90,000+90,000 + 490,000 = $580,000

So, the cost of goods available for sale is 580,000.Therefore,thecorrectansweris(d)580,000. Therefore, the correct answer is (d) 580,000.
