Please show how you obtained the answer. Thank you.
Purchases = $250,000
Purchase Returns and Allowance = $8,000
Purchase Discounts = $2,000
Freight = $30,000
Beginning merchandise inventory = $60,500
Ending merchandise inventory = $76,000
Net purchases = Purchases - Purchase Returns and Allowance - Purchase Discounts + Freight
= 250,000 - 8,000 - 2,000 + 3,000
= $270,000
Cost of goods sold = Beginning merchandise inventory + Net purchases - Ending merchandise inventory
= 60,500 + 270,000 - 76,000
= $254,500
