Step-by-step explanation:

The movements in inventory account is usually as a result of purchases, sales, returns etc. These are the factors that bring about a difference between the opening and closing balances in the inventory account.

Sales revenue = $15000

Let the cost of goods sold be B

$14000 + $17600 - B = $14500

B = $14000 + $17600 - $14500

B = $17100

The cost of goods sold is $17100
