Given;
Purchases = N20,000
Sales = N40,000
Carriage inwards = N5,000
Carriage outwards = N5,000
Opening stock = N10,000
Closing stock = N5,000

What is the cost of goods sold?

A.

N30,000

B.

N25,000

C.

N20,000

D.

N15,000

Correct answer is A

Cost of goods sold:
= Opening stock + purchases + carriage inwards - closing stock
= 10000 + 20000 + 5000 - 5000
= 35000 - 5000
= 30000
: Cost of goods sold = 30000
