    The correct option is a. $56,573

    Explanation:

    For computing the correct amount of inventory for both Perth and the Dundee, we have to exclude the profit portion from the inventory amount.

    In mathematically,

    Perth corporation inventory = Inventory : (100 + markup profit)

    = $31,000 : (100 + 30%)

    = $31,000 : 130%

    = $23,846

    Dundee company inventory = Inventory : (100 + markup profit)

    = $36,000 : (100 + 10%)

    = $36,000 : 110%

    = $32,727

    So, the total inventory would be equal to

    = Perth corporation inventory + Dundee company inventory

    = $23,846 + $32,727

    = $56,573

    Hence, the $56,573 will be reported for inventory in the consolidated balance sheet for December 31, 20X8

    Therefore, the correct option is a. $56,573
