How do you count the cost of good sold having the information below?

Resolved Question

How do you count the cost of good sold having the information below?

Sales 71,000
Opening stock 32,000
Purchases 35,000
Closing stock 32,000

my book says the cost of goods sold should be 35,000 and the profit 36,000. How did they come up with that sum?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker

cost of sales = opening stock + purchases - closing stock (32k + 35k - 32k) = 35k

Gross profit = sales - cost of sales (71k - 35k) = 36k

Hope this helps in some way.
