Answer 1

Answer:

D. cost of goods available for sale.

Explanation:

The cost of goods available for sale, also known as the total inventory, represents the total amount of finished products that a company had in its store for selling. The calculation of costs of goods available for sale involves adding beginning stock to the net purchases.

Beginning inventory is the ending balance in the previous financial period. It is the finished product balance brought forward of the prior period. Net purchases are the purchases adjusted for discounts and purchase returns. The costs of goods available for sale minus ending inventory will equal to the costs of goods sold.
