    Shrinkage = $3,250

    Explanation:

    The shrinkage would be calculated as expected value of inventory at the end of the period minus the actual value of inventory at the end of the same period.

    Expected inventory at the end of the period

    = Opening inventory + purchases for the period - cost of goods sold

    = 533,000 + 38,000 - 32,750

    =$538,250

    Shrinkage = expected amount of inventory - actual value

    = $538,250 - $535,000

    = $3,250
