See below

Explanation:

Given the information above, cost of goods sold and the gross profit is calculated as;

Cost of goods sold for the company during 2019

= Beginning inventory + Net purchases - Ending inventory

= Beginning inventory + (Purchases - Purchase return) - Ending inventory

= $100,000 + ($750,000 - $0) - $120,000

= $100,000 + $750,000 - $120,000

= $730,000

Gross profit for the company during 2019

= Net Sales - Cost of goods sold

= (Gross sales - Sales return and allowances) - Cost of goods sold

= ($2,000,000 - $50,000) - $730,000

= $1,950,000 - $730,000

= $1,220,000
