Answer 1

Cost of goods sold =

Cost of goods Manufactured

Add: Beginning Finished goods

Less: Ending Finished goods

Finished goods decreased by $10,000 during the year means, Ending Finished goods is less than the Beginning finished goods

So, Cost of goods sold = cost of goods manufactured + Decrease in finished goods

Cost of goods sold = $1,400,000 + $10,000 = $1,410,000

Cost of goods sold = $1,410,000

Option 'B' is correct
