Answer :

Answer:

2019 -  $437,000; 2018 -  $382,000

Explanation:

The computation of the correct cost of goods sold for both 2018 and 2019 is shown below:

For 2019

= Beginning inventory + Cost of goods purchased - Ending inventory

= $68,000  + $420,000 - $51,000

= $437,000

For 2018

= Beginning inventory + Cost of goods purchased - Ending inventory

= $50,000  + $400,000 - $68,000

= $382,000

In 2019

Beginning inventory = $60,000 + $8,000 = $68,000

Ending inventory = $55,000 - $4,000 = $51,000

In 2018

Ending inventory = $60,000 + $8,000 = $68,000
