Respuesta :

Answer:

COGS= $960,000

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Beginning inventroy= $65,000

Ending inventory= $55,000

Total Purchase=  220,000 + 140,000 + 170,000+ 420,000= $950,000

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

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

COGS= 65,000 + 950,000 - 55,000

COGS= $960,000
