Cost of Goods = Beginning Inventory + Purchases - _________________________
Explanation
The equation for calculating the Cost of Goods is the sum of the Beginning Inventory and Purchases, minus the Ending Inventory. This is because the Cost of Goods is the total cost of the goods that were sold during a specific period, and the Ending Inventory represents the value of the goods that remain unsold at the end of that period. Therefore, subtracting the Ending Inventory from the sum of the Beginning Inventory and Purchases gives us the cost of the goods that were sold.Rate this question:
