Reyna Buchanan · Answer 1

The answer is: E) $552,000

Explanation:

The inventory balance of Sunrise Company is overstated since it shouldn't include;

$98,000 of merchandise that will not be received until January 2. $4,000 of merchandise from another company held on consignment.

Inventory balance 0 $654,000 - $98,000 - $4,000 = $552,000
