Respuesta :

Answer:

$685

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Cost of inventory at the beginning of the year = $210

Cost of merchandise purchased = $635

Inventory at the end of the year = $160

Now,

cost of goods sold for the year

= Beginning inventory + Cost of merchandise purchased - Ending inventory

or

Cost of goods sold for the year = $210 + $635 - $160

or

Cost of goods sold for the year = $685
