The correct answer is $30,000.

Explanation:

According to the scenario, the computation of the given data are as follows

We can calculate the cost of goods sold by using following formula:

Cost of goods sold = Cost of goods Manufactured - Amount of finished goods

Where, Cost of goods manufactured = $14,000 + $17,000 + $19,000

= $50,000

And amount of finished goods = ($50,000 : 5,000) * (5,000 - 3,000)

= $10 * 2,000

= $20,000

By putting the value, we get

Cost of goods sold = $50,000 - $20,000

= $30,000
