    Sales Returns and Allowances 13,000
    Sales Discount 6,000
    Sales 160,000
    COGS 77,000

    A) $128,000
    B) $125,000

    Net Sales = Sales - Sales Discounts - Sales Returns & Allowances. Your answer is correct given the information above. You could have a typo with an amount somewhere, if the possible answers are as listed.
