The cost of goods sold for 20X9 is $964000.

Explanation:

stock holders equity at the beginning = Asset - liability

= $290,000 - $105,000

= $185000

stock holders equity at the end = Asset - liability

= $334,000 - $128,000

= $206000

Net income = Stock holders at the end - stock holders equity at the beginning + Dividends

= $206000 - $185000 + $10,000

= $31000

cost of goods sold = sales - Net income

= $995,000 - $31000

= $964000

Therefore, the cost of goods sold for 20X9 is $964000.
