    The correct answer is C: 120,000

    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    Sales, January 1 through April 15 $480,000

    Inventory, January 1 80,000

    Purchases, January 1 through April 15 400,000

    Markup on cost 25%.

    We need to find the difference between the cost of the lost inventory and what it will cost to purchase now.

    Inventory = (Beginning inventory + purchase) * 0.25=

    Inventory = 480,000 * 0.25 = 120,000
