Answer 1

Answer:

Cost of goods purchased= $2,350,000

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Beginning inventory 2006= ending inventory 2005= $200,000

Ending inventory 2006= $350,000

COGS 2006= $2,200,000

To calculate the purchases for 2006, we need to use the following formula:

COGS= beginning finished inventory + cost of goods purchased - ending finished inventory

2,200,000 = 200,000 + cost of goods purchased - 350,000

2,200,000 - 200,000 + 350,000 = cost of goods purchased

cost of goods purchased= $2,350,000
