Correct Answer: Option C
Explanation:
Cost of goods sold = opening stock + purchases - closing stock - returns outwards (returns outwards represent goods that were bought but returned to the supplier due to one reason or the other. It will be subtracted from the purchase)
10,000 + 280,000 - (8,000 - 3,000)
290,000 - 11,000 = 279,000
Cost of goods sold = opening stock + purchases - closing stock - returns outwards (returns outwards represent goods that were bought but returned to the supplier due to one reason or the other. It will be subtracted from the purchase)
10,000 + 280,000 - (8,000 - 3,000)
290,000 - 11,000 = 279,000
