The cost of the merchandise that the merchandiser has sold.

It should be the price right?

The cost of merchandise sold is the cost of items that have been sold by  store owner/retailer/ etc; . They do not manufacture their own goods but they instead would be buying the goods from 3rd parties and selling the items then to their customers.
