Explanation / Answer

unrealised profit of inv 2014 in 2015= (337500-270000)*0.13=67500*0.13=8,775

unrealised profit of inv obtained in 2015 and sales in 2015=(305000-259250)*(1-0.32)=45750*0.68=31,110

Cost of goods sold in skybox=337500-31,110-8775-259250=38365

cost of goods sold in PArkette=560000

consolidated cost of goods sold in 2015=560000+38365=598365$
