Answer:

b. $469,000

Explanation:

Ending inventory at retail:

$670,000 [$650,000 (beginning inventory) + $1,835,000 (net purchases) + $75,000 (net markups) - $45,000 (net markdowns) - $1,845,000 (net sales)]

Cost ratio: 70% [$390,000 (beginning inventory) + $1,402,000 (net purchases)] / [$650,000 (beginning inventory) + $1,835,000 (net purchases) + $75,000 (net markups)].

Ending inventory at cost: $70,000 x 70%
