Answer:

The answer is $2,880 or None of the above in the multiple choices

Explanation:

The money/non-monetary method means that monetary items (e.g. cash, accounts payable and receivable, and long-term debt) are translated at the current rate while non-monetary items (e.g. inventory, fixed assets, and long-term investments) are translated at historical rates.

Therefore, the value of inventory in $ is translated at the historical rate as follows:

Inventory's current value x historical rate = €1,800  x $1.60/€1.00 = $2,880
