Answer:

approximately $6,676,000

Explanation:

the value of the inventory that was destroyed by fire = beginning balance on January 1 + purchases made before the fire + freight costs - cost of goods sold

inventory destroyed by fire = $6,900,000 + $3,032,000 + $342,000 - ($5,140,000 x 70%) = $10,274,000 - $3,598,000 = $6,676,000
