    d. $413,000

    Explanation:

    Sales = $1,160,000

    Less: Cost of Goods Sold (1,160,000*70%) = ($812,000)

    Gross Profit = 348,000

    Note: Since gross profit margin is 30% of the sales, the cost of goods sold must be 70% of sales.

    Beginning inventory on Jan. 1, 2016 = $340,000

    Purchase inventory from Jan. 1, 2016 to May 1,2016 = $885,000

    Total Inventory = $1,225,000

    Less: Cost of Goods sold = ($812,000)

    Estimated Inventory on May. 1 2016 = $413,000
