Guida verificata passo dopo passo1
Step 1: Understand the formula for calculating Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) in a perpetual inventory system. The formula is: \( \text{COGS} = \text{Beginning Inventory} + \text{Purchases} - \text{Ending Inventory} \).
Step 2: Identify the values provided in the problem. Beginning Inventory = \$10,000, Purchases = \$25,000, Ending Inventory = \$8,000.
Step 3: Substitute the values into the formula: \( \text{COGS} = 10,000 + 25,000 - 8,000 \).
Step 4: Perform the addition and subtraction operations step by step. First, add Beginning Inventory and Purchases: \( 10,000 + 25,000 \). Then subtract Ending Inventory from the result: \( 35,000 - 8,000 \).
Step 5: The result of the calculation will give you the Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) for the year. Compare this value to the provided answer choices to determine the correct option.
