Answer 1

Answer:

Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) on its 2012 income statement  $1723

Explanation:

Jacob, Inc.

                                                 12/31/2011          12/31/2012

Accounts receivable                   $720                 $452

Inventories                                   $584                $816

Net fixed assets                           $637                   $659

Accounts payable                       $413                     $611

Jacob had materials purchases in 2011 of $1,753 and materials purchases in 2012 of $1,957.

This COGS is calculated by the following formula :

Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) = Beginning Inventory + Material Purchases - Ending Inventory

COGS= $ 584 + $ 1957 - $ 816= $ 1723

Calculations

Ending Inventories  $ 816

Less Beginning Inv $ 584

Difference $ 234      

Materials Purchases (2012)  $1,957

Difference $ 234

Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) on its 2012 income statement  $1723
