d. None of these answers is correct

Explanation / Answer

Computation March Cost of Goods Sold

March Cost of Goods Sold

=

March Sales - Gross Profiit of March Sales

=

$200,000- $200,000 x 30%

=

$200,000 x 70%

March Cost of Goods Sold

=

$                                                               140,000

February ending Inventory = March COGS x 20%

                                                     =$140,000 x 20%

                                                    =$28,000
