Verified step by step guidance1
Step 1: Understand the formula for Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) under the periodic inventory system. The formula is: \( \text{COGS} = \text{Beginning Inventory} + \text{Purchases} - \text{Ending Inventory} \).
Step 2: Identify the values provided in the problem: \( \text{Beginning Inventory} = \$10,000 \), \( \text{Purchases} = \$25,000 \), and \( \text{Ending Inventory} = \$8,000 \).
Step 3: Substitute the values into the formula: \( \text{COGS} = \$10,000 + \$25,000 - \$8,000 \).
Step 4: Perform the addition first: \( \$10,000 + \$25,000 \).
Step 5: Subtract \( \$8,000 \) from the result of the addition to calculate the Cost of Goods Sold.
