Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Since ABC produced 50,000 chairs at a cost of $79 each, the total cost of production for ABC is 50,000 x $79 = $3,950,000.
ABC sold 35,000 chairs to XYZ for $90 each, so ABC recognized revenue of 35,000 x $90 = $3,150,000.
The cost of goods sold for ABC would be the cost of chairs sold to XYZ, which is 35,000 x $79 = $2,765,000.
