Ending inventory is greater than beginning inventory when purchases are less than cost of goods sold.

Explanation:

Ending inventory is greater than beginning inventory when purchases are less than cost of goods sold is the wrong answer option

Ending inventory is the amount of inventory a company has in stock at the end of it's fiscal year. It is the beginning inventory plus net purchases minus cost of goods sold.

When the beginning inventory is greater than the ending inventory, then has been sold in the period than you bought.
