Cost of Goods Sold for October is $8,600

Explanation:

Goods available to sale is the sum to Beginning Inventory and the production / Purchases for the period.

Goods Available for sale = Beginning Inventory + Purchases = $3,600 = $7,600 = $11,200

Cost of Goods sold is the cost of the unit sold which is incurred to produce / purchase that products. It is calculated by deducting the ending inventory from goods available to sale.

Cost of Goods Sold = Goods available for sale - Ending Inventory = $11,200 - $2,600 = $8,600
