Answer:

Cost of goods sold = 948000

Explanation:

Inventory at the beginning of the year = $62000

Inventory at the end of the year = $52000

Cost of goods sold = Beginning inventory + purchases during the year - ending inventory

Cost of goods sold = $62000 + 217000 + 137000 + 167000 + 417000 - $52000

Cost of goods sold = 948000
