    Answer: Option (C) is correct.

    Explanation:

    Given that,

    Merchandise inventory (beginning inventory) = $1,200,000

    Merchandise purchased = $2,400,000

    Sales = $3,000,000

    Gross profit rate on sales = 25%

    Ending inventory of Glaus:

    = Beginning inventory + Purchases - cost of goods sold

    = $1,200,000 + $2,400,000 - [sales * (100-25) %]

    = $1,200,000 + $2,400,000 - $3,000,000 * 0.75

    = $1,200,000 + $2,400,000 - $2,250,000

    = $1,350,000
