Ending inventory balance is $ 779,914.13

Explanation:

The cost of goods sold formula can be used to determine the ending inventory by rearranging the formula and making the ending inventory the subject of the formula:

cost of goods=beginning inventory+inventory purchased-ending inventory

ending inventory=beginning inventory+inventory purchased-costs of goods sold

ending inventory=$864,593 + (11,752*$11.73) - (18971*$11.73) = $ 779,914.13
