Answer:

C. $250,000

Explanation:

Cost of goods sold=Sales -gross profit

Sales revenue=$600,000

Gross profit=sales revenue*gross profit %=$600,000*30%=$180,000

Cost of goods sold=$600,000-$180,000=$420,000

Cost of goods available for sale=Beginning inventory+purchases

beginning inventory=$220,000

purchases=$450,000

Cost of goods available for sale=$220,000+$450,000=$670,000

Lost inventory=cost of goods available-cost of goods sold

lost inventory=$670,000-$420,000=$250,000
