Answer:

Cost of goods sold= 250,000

Step-by-step explanation:

We can calculate the cost of good sold based on the markup policy of the firm:

Sales price: cost + 40% over cost markup

sales price = cost ( 1 + 40%) = 1.4 cost

so we can calculate cost of good sold for May from the sales figure.

350,000 sales = 1.4 cost

350,000 / 1.4 = cost

Cost of goods sold= 250,000
