Answer 1

Answer:

COGS= $920,000

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Beginning inventory= $55,000

Ending inventory= $45,000

Purchases= 210,000 + 130,000 + 160,000 + 410,000= $910,000

To calculate the cost of goods sold (COGS), we need to use the following formula:

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

COGS=  55,000 + 910,000 - 45,000

COGS= $920,000
