    e. $22,000

    Explanation:

    The computation of the beginning inventory is shown below:

    We know that,

    Opening inventory + Purchase - Purchase Discounts - Purchase Returns and Allowances + freight in + Gross profit = Sales - sales return - sales discount + ending inventory

    Opening inventory + $245,000 - $4,000 - $8,000 + $7,000 + $75,000 = $317,000 - $9,000 - $1,000 + $30,000

    Opening inventory + $315,000 = $337,000

    So, the opening inventory equals to

    = $22,000
