    Option (B) is correct.

    Explanation:

    Given that,

    Merchandise Inventory at the beginning of the year = $3,600

    Freight-In = $650

    Purchases = $10,700

    Purchases Returns and Allowances = $1,950

    Purchases Discounts = $330

    Net purchases = Purchases - Purchases Returns and Allowances - Purchases Discounts

    = $10,700 - $1,950 - $330

    = $8,420

    Cost of merchandise purchased = Net purchases + Freight-In

    = $8,420 + $650

    = $9,070
