method.

inventory in $2022$ or $2021.$ In order the determine this you will need to compute the inventory

turnover for $2022$ and $2021.$ For $2021,$ assume that the cost of goods sold was $$230,000$ and the

Inventory as of $\frac{1}{1}\frac{?}{21}$ was $$91,000.($Make sure to take into account the inventory shrinkage in part

$4$ when applying the FIFO method.
