Answer 1

Answer: The cost of goods sold= 5881.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of available  goods = 75x32.97 + 75x33.78 + 150x35.02= $10259.25

Units available= 150 + 75 + 75= 300

Sold units= 175

Ending  inventory= 300-175=125

Value of ending inventory= 125x35.02= $4377.5

Cost of goods sold= cost of available goods – value of ending inventory

Cost of goods sold= 10259.25 – 4377.5= $5881.75

Answer 2

Answer:

Cost of goods sold = $5881.8

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that,

the total number of sold units = 175,

the total number of units received = 150 + 75 + 75 = 300

the total cost of the available goods = (150 * 35.02) + (75 * 33.78) + (75 * 32.97)

= $10259.25

Ending inventory = 300 - 175 = 125

Worth of the ending inventory =  125 x 35.02 = $4377.5

So the cost of good sold will be = 10259.25 – 4377.5 = $5881.8
