Correct Answer: Option D
Explanation:
opening stock = 4200
closing stock = 3900
cost of goods sold = 6000
purchase = opening stock -Â closing stock - cost of goods sold
4200 - 3900 = 300
 6000 - 300 = 5700
opening stock = 4200
closing stock = 3900
cost of goods sold = 6000
purchase = opening stock -Â closing stock - cost of goods sold
4200 - 3900 = 300
 6000 - 300 = 5700
