    Cost of goods sold is $19,700

    Explanation:

    Given:

    Vargas company follows FIFO method. So goods purchased first will be sold first.

    Units sold = 1,400 units

    Initial purchase = 1300 units @ $14 each

    Next purchase = 1700 units @ $15 each

    Vargas's cost of goods sold includes 1300 units from initial purchase and 100 units from the next purchase.

    Cost of goods sold = (1300 * 14) + (100 * 15)

    = 18,200 + 1500

    = $19,700

    Vargas reports cost of goods sold of $19,700 in the income statement.
