    The estimated cost of lost inventory = $4552.1

    Explanation:

    The cost of lost inventory = inventory, begining+purchases of the period - ((1-avg gross profit ratio) (sales for the period-returns for the period))

    The cost of lost inventory=$29900+$18900 - ((1-0.21) ($56900-$890))

    =$48800 - ((0.79) (56010))

    =$48800 - (44247.9)

    =$4552.1

    The estimated cost of lost inventory is $4552.1
