    The ending inventory of $214,500 to be reported on the financial statements.

    Explanation:

    Retail value is the value at which an asset will be sold. Cost to retail value ratio is the ratio of cost of inventory to retail price of that inventory item.

    We can calculate the Inventory value reported on the financial statement as follow

    Cost to retail value = Cost of Inventory / Retail value of Inventory

    66% = Cost of Inventory / $325,000

    Cost of Inventory = $325,000 x 66% = $214,500
