Assuming that Mountain Lake Corporation uses the periodic system, compute the cost of goods purchased and cost of goods sold.
1. Cost of goods purchased$=?
2. Cost of goods sold$=?

Answer 1

Cost of goods purchased= $161,560

Cost of goods sold= $165,050

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Cost of goods purchased (net) = Purchases - Purchase discount - purchase returns and allowances + Freight in

= $164,250 - $7,230 - $4,190 + $8,730

=$161,560

2. Cost of goods sold = Beginning inventory + Net purchase - Ending inventory

= $32,660 + $161,560 - $29,170

= $165,050
