Answer Details

To calculate the Cost of Goods Sold (COGS), we need to use the formula:


COGS = Opening Stock + Purchases - Closing Stock


Let's break it down:


  • Opening Stock (beginning of the year): #2,200
  • Purchases (during the year): #18,000
  • Closing Stock (end of the year): #1,000

By plugging these values into the formula, we get:


COGS = 2,200 + 18,000 - 1,000


After calculating, we find:


COGS = 19,200


So, the Cost of Goods Sold is #19,200.
