Computation of the cost of goods available for sale:-

Gross profit = Net sales * Gross margin percentage

= $3,600,000 * 40%

= $1,440,000

Cost of good sold = Net sales - Gross profit

= $3,600,000 - $1,440,000

= $2,160,000

Cost of goods available for sale = Cost of goods sold + Ending inventory

= $2,160,000 + $240,000

= $2,400,000

Hence, the correct option is C) $2,400,000
