First of all, can you please explain why you are passing entry

cost of goods sold dr.1650
inventory cr.1650

I think we need not to pass entries for costing part, as these are automatically handled by puchase ledger and costing deptt.

In financial accounting the sale transaction is recorded with sale value and no other transaction is required to be made. Since we have not given in the question that the inventory is first purchased and then sold.

It is always assumed that the goods are sold from the stock.

Please let me know, what are you thinking while you journalize that entry.
