Cost of goods Sold = $384,000

Gross Profit = $259,000

Explanation:

Cost of goods sold = Opening Inventory + Net Purchase - Closing Inventory

Opening Inventory = $58,100 Closing Inventory = $92,600

Net Purchases = Purchase - Purchase Return - Discounts + Freight in

Freight in forms part of cost of purchase because without this expense inventory cannot be bought in.

Net Purchases = $420,800 - $11,900 - $8,100 + $17,700 = $418,500

Cost of goods Sold = $58,100 + $418,500 - $92,600 = $384,000

Gross Profit = Sales - Cost of Goods Sold

= $643,000 - $384,000 = $259,000.
