    Cost of Goods Sold 25563000
    Finished Goods Inventory 25563000 (credit)
    Cash 20976000
    Sales 20976000 (credit)

    You do not have enough information for Cost of Goods Sold.

    Your accounts to record the sale should be:
    Sales Revenue for the total amount of sale
    Cash for amount of cash received
    Accounts Receivable for the amount due (difference between the sales revenue and cash received because debits must equal credits).
