d. $22,200

Explanation:

Costs of goods sold are the expenses incurred in the production of products sold by a firm. Calculating the cost of goods sold (COGS) is as follows

COGS=Opening Inventory+Purchases - Closing Inventory.

In this case:

Opening inventory is $5,200

Purchases : $20,000

Closing inventory is $ 3,000

Therefore:

COGS = $5,200 + $20,000 - $3,000

COGS = $22,200
