Answer 1

Answer:

The options are not correct:

Dr costs of good sold  $15,800

Cr inventory                                   $15,800

Explanation:

The 4,400 units sold consist of the 2,400 units purchased on 1 January at $4.00 per unit and the balance of 2,000 units from the purchase made on January 12 at $3.10 per unit

cost of goods sold=(2,400*$4)+(2,000*$3.10)=$15,800

The cost of goods sold is $15,800 ,neither is it $11,900 nor $11,800

The appropriate entries is to debit costs of good sold with $15,800 while merchandise inventory is credited with $15,800
