Answer and Explanation:

Merchandising company is one that buys finished goods and add values to it and sells. Unlike the manufacturing firm where the firm produces the good and sells them.

In order to find the COGS for a merchandising company for preparing the income statement, we can look at the inventory purchases and budget for COGS. We can also look at the starting and ending inventory.

The formula for COGS is:

Beginning inventory + purchases - ending inventory = Cost of goods sold.
