Answer:

$288,000

Explanation:

Provided data includes:

Cost markup rate = 25%

Available inventory account balance =  $440,000

Purchases total $344,000

Returned purchases amount to $16,000

Thus, Net purchase = total purchases - purchase returns

= $344,000 - $16,000 = $328,000

Sales executed during March total $600,000

Accordingly,

cost of products = 600,000 / 1.25 = $480,000

Therefore,

inventory cost = Available account balance + Net purchases - cost of sold products

or

inventory cost =  $440,000 + $328,000 - $480,000 = $288,000
