    The amount of cost for these goods should be included in inventory will be only $50,000 i. e the purchasing cost of the goods.

    Explanation:

    Given:

    Purchasing cost of the goods = $50,000

    Packaging for shipment = $1,000

    Shipping charges = $1,500

    Special handling charges = $2,000

    It is also given that terms were FOB destination, which means that all the cost of Packaging for shipment, Shipping, Special handling charges and transportation etc will be bear by the seller only.

    Hence,

    the amount of cost for these goods should be included in inventory will be only $50,000 i. e the purchasing cost of the goods.
