Bedrock Company

Ending Inventory is $387,600.

Explanation:

The inventory already includes the consigned inventory. Since, Bedrock the consignor, its inclusion is correct. In consignment accounting, consigned inventory belongs to the consignor, who is the legal owner. The consignee is only in physical possession and not the legal owner.

The ending inventory should not include office supplies since they would be used during the coming year.
