The correct answer is C

Explanation:

Cost of Sales or COGS is defined as the carrying value of the goods sold during the specific period or year.

The formula for computing the Cost of Sales is as:

Gross Profit = Sales - Cost of Goods Sold (COGS)

where

Sales is $5,456,650

Gross Profit is $2,554,391

Putting the values above:

$2,554,391 = $5,456,650 - Cost of Goods Sold (COGS)

So,

Cost of goods sold (COGS) = $5,456,650 - $2,554,391

Cost of goods sold (COGS) = $2,902,259
