Answer 1

Answer:

$118,220

Explanation:

The Costs of Goods Sold COGS is calculated using the following formula.

COGS = Beginning inventory + purchases - Ending Inventory

For Azur company

Beginning inventory:  30,840

Ending inventory : 20,560

Net purchases equal Net purchase equal to purchases plus freight-in minus discounts  freight-out are administrative expenses, hence do not feature in COGS

Net purchases =$102,800 + $15,420 -$ 10,280

Net purchases =$107,940

COGS = $30,840 +$107,940 -$20560

COGS = $118,220
