Explanation:

Cost of goods manufacture used to compute cost of goods manufacture for the period. It started from the raw materials beginning inventory then add the purchases of the raw materials including the handling cost to get the raw materials available. Then deduct the raw materials end to get the cost of raw material used for the period. Add direct labor to get the prime cost and then add manufacturing overhead to the prime cost to get the manufacturing cost. Lastly, add work in process beginning and deduct the work in process end to get the cost of goods manufactured.

In preparation of cost of goods sold, we start from the cost of goods manufactured we computed earlier and add the finished goods beginning to get the cost of goods available for sale. And from there we deduct the finished goods ending inventory to get the cost of goods sold for the period.
