Bread Co. reported the following data:Purchases during the year$15.0 millionShipping costs from overseas$1.5 millionShipping costs to export customers$1.0 millionInventory at year end$3.0 millionWhat amount of shipping costs should be included in ABC Trading's year-end inventory valuation?a. $0b. $200,000c. $300,000d. $500,000

c. $300,000

Explanation:

Here, the shipping costs from overseas is part in inventory costs whereas the shipping costs to export are part of expense not inventory.

Given: Purchases during the year  $15.0 million

Shipping costs from overseas$1.5 million

Shipping costs to export customers$1.0 million

Inventory at year end $3.0 million

Amount of shipping costs should be included in ABC Trading's year-end inventory valuation = (Inventory at year end)÷(Purchases during the year ) × (Shipping costs from overseas)

= ($3,000,000) ÷ ($15,000,000) × ($1,500,000)

= $300,000

Hence, the correct option is c. $300,000.
