Explanation:

Computation of cost of goods sold for the year 2016 and 2015

Particulars                                                    2013           2012          

Beginning inventory                                    $63,000   $83,000

Cost of goods purchased                            $548,000   $508,000

Cost of goods available for sale                    $611,000   $591,000

Ending inventory (corrected)                           $121,000   $30,000

Cost of goods sold (corrected)                       $490,000   $561,000.

note:

In 2013 new ending inventory = $93,000 + $28,000 = $121,000

In 2012 new ending inventory = $63,000 - $33,000 = $30,000

Beginning inventory + Cost of goods purchased = Cost of goods available for sale

Cost of goods available for sale - Ending inventory = Cost of goods sold
