Answer:

a. $2,200,000

Explanation:

We solve considering the inventory identity:

[tex]$Beginning Inventory + Purchase = Ending Inventory + COGS[/tex]

[tex]$ Purchase = (Ending Inventory - Beginning Inventory) + COGS[/tex]

the difference during the year means the difference between ending and beginning inventory was of 200,000

So we plug that into the formula and solve

[tex]$ Purchase = +200,000 + 2,000,000 [/tex]

Purchase 2,200,000
