Finnegan · Answer 1

Cost of goods sold $ 152,350

Explanation:

Opening Inventory $ 19,500

Purchases $ 156,000

Freight in $ 4,350

Purchase Returns $ (3,000)

Net Purchases $ 157,350

Cost of goods available $ 176,850

Less: Ending Inventory $ (24,500)

Cost of goods sold $ 152,350

The sales, sales returns and allowances and freight out are related to the total sales revenue and are thus not considered in the cost of goods sold.
