Quizplus · Accepted Answer

We need to calculate the change in inventory from the beginning of the period to the end. 
Starting inventory = 100 
Additions = 30 
Total computers available = 130 
Returns = 4 
Computers available for sale = 126 
Ending inventory = 83 
Computers sold = (computers available for sale) - (ending inventory) 
Computers sold = 43 (Option B)
