Francis Green · Answer 1

The cost of goods sold for next month is expected to be $202,500

Explanation:

Given that,

Sales budget = $450,000

Cost of Good sold = 45% of sales

Opening inventory = $20,000

Ending inventory = $24,000

Beginning accounts payable = $206,500

Since, in the given question, it is mentioned that the cost of good sold is 45% of sales.

So,

Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) = 0.45 * $450,000

= $202,500

Hence, the cost of goods sold for next month is expected to be $202,500
