Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
COGS = Beginning Inventory + Purchases - Ending Inventory
Cost of Goods Available for Sale = $205,000 (Given)

To calculate COGS, we need to find the beginning inventory and purchases:
Beginning Inventory = $65,000 (Given)
Purchases = $140,000 ($205,000 - $65,000)

Now we need to determine the ending inventory:
Ending Inventory (per physical count) = 3000 units

Using the weighted average cost method, the cost per unit is:
Cost per unit = [(1000 units x $5) + (2000 units x $7)] / 3000 units
Cost per unit = $6

Ending Inventory (cost) = 3000 units x $6 = $18,000

Therefore, COGS = $65,000 + $140,000 - $18,000 = $187,000

Net Income = Revenue - COGS
Revenue = 3000 units x $12 = $36,000
Net Income = $36,000 - $187,000 = -$151,000

Tax = Net Income x Tax Rate
Tax = -$151,000 x 20% = -$30,200

After deducting taxes from net income, the company has a net loss of $121,800.

Therefore, the cost of goods available for sale is $207,500 (option C).
