Answer: Cost of Goods Sold for Manufacturer is different from that of a Merchandiser
Step-by-step explanation:
Organic Bones as a manufacturer will have a different cost of goods sold to a Merchandiser because it will have to include the cost of manufacturing in the Cost of Goods sold. In the Income statement of Organic Bones, the relevant Cost of Goods will be entered as Finished Goods which would be derived from the Cost of Goods Manufactured schedule.
Merchandisers on the other hand, buy the goods that they sell. They will have no need for a Schedule of Costs of Goods manufactured and so will have no Finished Goods as their Inventory. Their relevant cost of goods sold will be Purchases which they bought from suppliers.
