Answer:
$900,000
Explanation:
The computation of the ending merchandise inventory is shown below:
= Cost of goods available for sale - Cost of goods sold
= Beginning inventory + Purchase made + direct expenses
= $900,000 + $3,400,000 + $200,000
= $4,500,000
And, the cost of goods sold is
= Sales - gross profit
= $4,800,000 - (25% of $4,800,000)
= $3,600,000
Now the ending merchandise inventory is
= $4,500,000 - $3,600,000
= $900,000
