b. $120,100.
c. $108,900.
d. $144,700.
e. $169,300.

Answer 1

Answer:

b. $120,100.

Explanation:

The movements in the Inventories account over a period is as a result of goods manufactured (which results in an increase in the account balance) and goods sold ( which results in a decrease in inventory).

As such,

let the cost of goods sold be F

$30,200 + $114,500 - F = 24,600

$30,200 + $114,500 - 24,600 = F

F = $120,100

The cost of goods sold is $120,100.
