Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To calculate the unadjusted cost of goods sold, we need to add beginning finished goods inventory to cost of goods manufactured and then subtract ending finished goods inventory.

Unadjusted Cost of Goods Sold = Beginning finished goods inventory + Cost of goods manufactured - Ending finished goods inventory

Substituting the given values, we get:

Unadjusted Cost of Goods Sold = $47,000 + $145,000 - $49,000 = $143,000

Therefore, the closest choice is B) $143,000.
