Answer:

a. $30,000.

Explanation:

The computation of the ending inventory is shown below;

As we know that

Cost of goods sold = Beginning inventory + goods purchased - ending inventory

$280,000 = $70,000 + $240,000 - ending inventory

So,

ending inventory = $70,000 + $240,000 - $280,000

= $30,000

hence, the correct option is a.
