Answer:

The amount that Plunkett should report in ending inventory on December 31 is $156,300

Explanation:

The computation of the ending inventory is shown below:

= Ending inventory balance - FOB destination goods purchased - goods being held on consignment

= $215,500 - $44,100 - $15,100

= $156,300

The other items would not be adjusted because the other items are not included in the ending inventory so they are not being considered in the computation part.
