    The answer is: The ending inventory is $135,197

    Explanation:

    Initial inventory $94,000 Purchased merchandise $414,197

    (($415,000 (purchase price) - $4,700 (returned merchandise)) x 99%) + $8,000 (freight charges) = ($410,300 x 99%) + $8,000 = $406,197 + $8,000 = $414,197

    Cost of goods sold $373,000

    To calculate the ending inventory we can use the following formula:

    Ending inventory = initial inventory + purchased merchandise - COGS

    Ending inventory = $94,000 + $414,197 - $373,000 = $135,197
