    c. $250,000

    Explanation:

    The computation of the estimated inventory loss is shown below:

    = Total amount of inventory + purchase made during the year - costs of goods sold

    = $220,000 + 450,000 - $420,000

    = $670,000 - $420,000

    = $250,000

    The cost of goods would be

    = Sales - sales * gross profit margin

    = $600,000 - $600,000 * 30%

    = $600,000 - $180,000

    = $420,000
