    Option (b) is correct.

    Explanation:

    Given that,

    Under cost:

    Beginning inventory = $49,000

    Net purchases = 157,000

    Total value:

    = Beginning inventory + Net purchases

    = $49,000 + 157,000

    = $206,000

    Under Retail:

    Beginning inventory = $66,000

    Net purchases = 221,000

    Net markups = 25,000

    Net markdowns = 38,000

    Net sales = 223,000

    Total value:

    = Beginning inventory + Net purchases + Net markups

    = $66,000 + $221,000 + $25,000

    = $312,000

    Cost to retail percentage:

    = (Total value under cost : Total value under retail) * 100

    = ($206,000 : $312,000) * 100

    = 0.66 * 100

    = 66%
