    estimated inventory on July 8 = $280000

    so correct option is d. $280,000

    Explanation:

    given data

    sale = $700,000

    Inventory = $130,000

    Purchase = $640,000

    to find out

    estimated inventory on July 8

    solution

    first we get here total available inventory for sales that is

    Total Available inventory for sales = Inventory + Purchase ... 1

    put here value

    Total Available inventory for sales = $130,000 + $640,000

    Total Available inventory for sales = $770,000

    so now we get Inventory sols that is

    Inventory = (Sales - 30% of sales) ... 2

    Inventory = $700000 - (0.30 * $700000)

    Inventory = $490,000

    so now we get here estimated inventory on July 8 that is express as

    estimated inventory = Total Available inventory for sales - Inventory ... 3

    estimated inventory = $770,000 - $490,000

    estimated inventory = $280000

    so correct option is d. $280,000
