Answer:

$20,300

Step-by-step explanation:

beginning inventory $7,300

purchases during the year $22,300

ending inventory $9,300

cost of goods sold = beginning inventory + purchases - ending inventory = $7,300 + $22,300 - $9,300 = $20,300

When you use a periodic inventory system, you calculate COGS using the previous formula, but if you use a perpetual inventory system, COGS are calculated for every individual sale.
