Answer 1

Answer: $912,000

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost of goods sold for the year will be:

Beginning inventory = $53,000

Add: Purchases = ($208,000 + $128,000 + $158,000 + $408,000) = $902,000

Cost of goods available for sale = $955,000

Less: Ending inventory = ($43,000)

Cost of goods sold = $912,000
