What was the cost of goods sold for the year?

Answer 1

Answer:

Cost of goods sold = $270,000

Explanation:

Given:

Cost of goods manufactured = $860,000

Beginning work-in-process = $40,000

Ending work-in-process = $60,000

Beginning finished goods = $400,000

Ending finished goods inventory = $990,000

Computation:

Cost of goods sold = Cost of goods manufactured + Beginning finished goods - Ending finished goods inventory

Cost of goods sold = $860,000 + $400,000 - $990,000

Cost of goods sold = $270,000
