Answer and Explanation:

The journal entry is shown below:

Cost of goods sold Dr $2,650 ($15,010 - $12,360)

To Inventory $2,650

(Being the cost of goods sold)

By recording this we debited the cost of good sold as it increased the expenses and credited the inventory as it decreased the assets so that the correct recording and posting could be done
