Respuesta :

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
