    Value of inventory = $466,040

    Explanation:

    The value of goods in inventory

    =Value of opening inventory + cost of purchases - cost of gold sold

    Note that there is a gross profit on selling price, therefore the cost of the goods sold would be

    Cost of goods sold = sales value - (40% * sales value)

    = 1,924,500 - (40% * 1,924,500)

    = 1,154,700.00

    Value of inventory = 423,300 + (1,140,950 + 56,790) - 1,154,700.00

    =$466,040

    Note that the freight-in was added as part of the cost of purchases on February 10
