Answer: a. $120,000.

Explanation:

The inventory lost can be calculated by;

= Opening inventory + Purchases - Cost of Goods sold

Cost of goods sold = Sales - Markup on price

= 600,000 - (600,000 * 25/125)

= 600,000 - 120,000

= $480,000

Inventory lost = 100,000 + 500,000 - 480,000

= $120,000
