Question

Assume that Speedboat Company has beginning finished goods inventory of $10,000; ending finished goods inventory of $150,000; goods available for sale of $210,000; and cost of goods manufactured of $200,000. What is its cost of goods sold

Answer 1

$60,000

Step-by-step explanation:

The movement in finished goods balance between the beginning and end of a period is due to the cost of goods sold and goods manufactured. This may be expressed mathematically as;

Opening balance + manufactured goods - cost of goods sold - other write-offs = closing balance.

where there are no other write-offs,

$10,000 + $200,000 - cost of goods sold = $150,000

Cost of goods sold = $10,000 + $200,000 - $150,000

= $60,000
