Answer:
.A. $17,600
Explanation:
The cost of goods sold refers to the costs incurred in producing products sold by a business. The formula for calculating the cost of goods sold (COGS) is as follows
COGS=Beginning Inventory+Purchases −Ending Inventory.
In this case:
Beginning inventory is $4,000
Ending inventory is $ $4,200
purchases : $17,800
Therefore:
COGS = $4,000+ $17,800 -$4,200
COGS =$17,600
