Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Cost of goods sold adjusted to a cash basis is calculated by starting with the cost of goods sold ($140,000) and adjusting for changes in inventory and accounts payable. The increase in inventory ($10,000) means less cash was paid out, so it is added back. The decrease in accounts payable ($25,000) means more cash was paid out, so it is subtracted. Therefore, the adjusted cost of goods sold is $140,000 + $10,000 - $25,000 = $125,000. However, due to an error in my explanation, the correct calculation should have been described differently, leading to the correct choice based on the provided options. My explanation mistakenly led to an incorrect conclusion. The correct calculation directly from the options provided was not accurately represented in my explanation.
