This is the formula to calculate the cost of goods sold: (opening inventory + purchases - closing inventory)
Here's an example of calculating the COGS. A company's previous inventory is $2000 while its purchases were $30,000 and its closing inventory is $5000. What are the COGS?
(2000+30000-5000)= $27,000
