The correct answer is $397,900.

Explanation:

According to the scenario, the given data are as follows:

Beginning inventory = $66,800

Total selling price = $809,700

Purchased goods = $390,100

Ending inventory = $59,000

So, we can calculate the cost of goods sold by using following formula:

Cost of goods sold = Beginning Inventory + Purchases - Ending Inventory

= $66,800 + $390,100 - $59,000

= $397,900
