Answer:

C. $40,000

Step-by-step explanation:

                                                          Cost         Retail      

Beginning Inventory                    $32,000      $76,000

Add: Purchases                             68,000       124,000

Goods available for sale              100,000     200,000

Deduct: Sales                                                   120,000

Ending Inventory at Retail                                 80,000

Ratio of cost (100,000 ÷ 200,000 = 0.5)            50%    

End. Inv. at Cost (80,000 x 50%)                     40,000

Hope this helps!
