Solution

Calculating the cost of goods sold:

According to the given table,

The total cost of purchase on 2nd August was, 10×12=$120

The total cost of purchase on 18th August was, 15×14=$210

Total units purchased were, 10+15=25

Hence, the average cost of purchase of goods was,

TotalcostTotalitemspurchased120+21025$13.20

Therefore, the cost of selling goods is,

averagecost×totalitemssold13.20×12$158.40

Hence, the amount of cost of goods sold for the sale is $158.40
