Correct Answer is C

Calculation of Closing Inventory = 20% of next month COGS

March COGS = $200,000 x 70% = $140,000

Closing Inventory for Feb = 20% x $140,000 = $28,000

Opening Inventory = $14,000

COGS of current month = $100,000 x 70% = $70,000

Opening Inventory + Purchase – Closing Inventory = COGS

Purchase = COGS + Closing Inventory – Opening Inventory

                   = 70,000 + 28,000 – 14,000 = $84,000
