Answer 1

The correct answer is A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

Beginning finished goods inventory= $40,000

During the period cost of goods manufactured amounted to $280,000. The ending balance in the Finished Goods Inventory account was $42,000.

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= 40,000 + 280,000 - 42,000

COGS= 278,000
