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 as follows: Purchases - Purchase returns and allowances - Discount received + Freight-in = 500,000500,000 - 8,000 - 4,000+4,000 + 2,000 = $490,000

Then, add the beginning inventory to the net purchases: 490,000(NetPurchases)+490,000 (Net Purchases) + 90,000 (Beginning Inventory) = $580,000

So, the cost of goods available for sale is $580,000.
