    The ending balance in the inventory account is $37,960

    Explanation:

    For computing the ending balance, first we have to compute the cost of inventory which is available for sale

    So, the cost of inventory which is available for sale equals to

    = Beginning balance of inventory + purchased - purchase return - purchase discount + in transportation cost

    = $45,500 + $91,500 - $6,100 - $860 + $1,220

    = $131,260

    Now the ending inventory would be

    = Cost of inventory which is available for sale - Cost of goods sold

    = $131,260 - $93,300

    = $37,960
