The dollar amount that Debra will have in inventory at the end of the month is $ 1,220,000.

Explanation:

This problem requires us to calculate the cost of ending inventory. The cost can be calculated by adding all cost incurred on acquisition of inventory in purchase price of inventory. All cost such as freight cost, shipping cost, transit cost, insurance premium are included in cost of inventory. Detail calculations are given below.

Purchase merchandise = $ 1,200,000

Purchase Return = $ (20,000)

Freight = $ 40,000

Inventory Cost = $ 1,220,000
