(a) $325,000

(b) $1,150,000

Explanation:

(a) For Music world retail:

Cost of goods sold = Goods available for sale - Ending merchandise inventory

                                = (Beginning merchandise inventory + Cost of purchases) - Ending merchandise inventory

                                = ($200,000 + $300,000) - $175,000

                                = $500,000 - $175,000

                                = $325,000

(b) For Wave-Board Manufacturing:

Cost of goods sold = Goods available for sale - Ending finished goods inventory

                               = (Beginning finished goods inventory +  Cost of goods manufactured) - Ending finished goods inventory

                                = ($500,000 + $875,000) - $225,000

                                = $1,150,000
