Answer:

$18,290

Explanation:

The computation of the cost of goods sold is given below;

The profit after tax is

= Retained earnings + dividend

= $411 + $285

= $696

The profit before tax = $696 ÷ (1 - Tax rate)

= $696 ÷ (1 - 0.35)

= $1,071  

Now  

Sales = $24,646

Let us assume the Cost of goods sold be X

admin expenses = $4,370

Depreciation = $812

Interest = $103

Profit before tax = $1.071

Cost of goods sold (X) = $24,646  - $4,370 - $812 - $103 - $1,071

= $18,290
