    A. $412,000

    Explanation:

    Consignments ($72,000) are usually owned by the consignor until the consignee sells or uses the goods. Hence the proper treatment is to record the goods as the property of Bedrock company.

    Office supplies of $22,000 represents goods to be used in future. Failing to record this stock value without reporting the associated value (revenue) is not be permissible. Since you cannot record a future or expected activity, it is proper to report the stock value of $22,000 as closing inventory.
