Option (b) $74,100

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Sales revenue = $184,000

Ending inventory = $11,600

Beginning inventory = $17,200

Purchases = $60,400

Purchase discounts = $3,000

Purchase returns and allowances = $1,100

Freight-in = $600

Freight-out = $900

Now,

Cost of goods available for sale

= Beginning inventory + Purchases + Freight-in - Purchases discounts - Purchase returns and allowances

= $17,200 + $60,400 + $600 - $3,000 - $1,100

= $74,100

Hence,

Option (b) $74,100
