    Sales = op. inv + production – closing inventory ..

    Cost of goods sold = ope. inv + purchases – closing inventory .

    is this two equation same ?

    To convert sales into cost of goods sold , can i use first formulae ?

    Sales only equals opening inventory + production – closing inventory in terms of numbers of units.
    It certainly doesn’t equal that in terms of $’s!

    How can the two equations possibly be the same when goods are sold at a higher amount than they cost? !!

    i understand that to find cogs = selling price / 1.5 is right.

    i saw somewhere an application 50 / 150 or 150/50 to find it.. i am confused now

    I understand it now. I should have subtracted it to arrive at COGS. Sorry to post this without thinking with patience. Thanks
