Answer 1

Answer:

Cost of Goods Sold = $19200

Explanation:

The cost of goods sold or COGS  is the cost of inventory that the business has sold for the period. The cost of goods sold can be calculated as follows,

Cost of Goods sold = Opening Inventory + Purchases for the year - Closing Inventory

Cost of Goods Sold = 6200 + 21200 - 8200

Cost of Goods Sold = $19200
