What did Jacob record as Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) on its 2012 income statement

Answer 1

Answer:

$2,857

Explanation:

Cost of goods sold (COGS) refers to the relevant cost incurred to acquire or produce the products being sold a company during a particular period.

The formula for calculating the COGS is as follows:

COGS = Beginning inventories + Purchases - Ending inventories

From the question, we have the following for 2012:

Beginning stock = $590

Purchases = $2,770

Ending inventory = 503

Therefore, we have:

COGS for 2012 = $590 + $2,770 - $503 = $2,857

Therefore, Jacob should record $2,857 as Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) on its 2012 income statement.
