Answer:

The answer is $18,810

Explanation:

Cost of goods sold equal:

Beginning or opening inventory plus purchases minus ending or closing inventory.

Monte Vista returned some inventories and also took advantage of discount. So this will reduce the cost of total purchases for the quarter.

Total purchase = new purchases minus purchase returns minus any discount enjoyed.

So total purchase is now:

$10,000 - $1,350 - $340

=$8,310

Therefore cost of goods sold is:

$44,000 + $8,310 - $33,500

=$18,810
