Solution

The current period's ending inventory is: The next period's beginning inventory.

Here's why:

  1. The ending inventory of a current period is the total value of goods still available for sale at the end of the period.

  2. This ending inventory then becomes the beginning inventory for the next period because it is the stock that is carried over to the next period.

  3. Therefore, the ending inventory of the current period is the beginning inventory of the next period.
