    The correct answer is C.

    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    In preparing their insurance claim on the inventory loss, they developed the following dа ta: Inventory January 1, 2011, $300,000; sales and purchases from January 1, 2011, to May 1, 2011, $1,300,000 and $875,000, respectively. Southern California consistently reports a 40% gross profit.

    Beginning inventory = 300,000

    Purchases = 875,000

    Total available for sale = 1,175,000

    Cost of goods sold = 1,300,000*0.60 = 780,000

    Inventory = Total available for sale - COGS

    Inventory = 1,175,000 - 780,000 = $395,000
