Answer 1

COGS= $20,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

Beginning Finished Goods of $5,000

Cost of Goods Manufactured of $25,000

Ending Finished Goods of $10,000

To calculate the cost of goods sold, we need to use the following formula:

COGS= beginning finished inventory + cost of goods manufactured - ending finished inventory

COGS= 5,000 + 25,000 - 10,000

COGS= $20,000
