Answer Details
To calculate the sales for the period, we can use the information provided about the gross profit and the cost of goods sold. The gross profit is defined as the difference between sales and the cost of goods sold. We can use the formula:

\[ \text{Gross Profit} = \text{Sales} - \text{Cost of Goods Sold} \]

Rearranging this formula to solve for sales, we get:

\[ \text{Sales} = \text{Gross Profit} + \text{Cost of Goods Sold} \]

Given:
- Gross Profit = GH¢50,400
- Cost of Goods Sold = GH¢184,000

Now, let's calculate the sales:
\[ \text{Sales} = 50,400 + 184,000 \]
\[ \text{Sales} = 234,400 \]

Therefore, the sales for the period is:   GH¢234,400
