This is what I got based on my understanding of the problem:

                                           2017             2018
Beg. Invty                          41200            41200
add: purchases                     0                   0
less: end. Invty                  41200            40000
Cost of goods sold                0                  1200

Since the ending inventory of the previous year becomes the beginning inventory of current year and the problem stated that the beginning inventory of both years are the same, I put 41,200 in beg. invty 2017 and 2018. 
Since there is no figure for cost of goods purchased but the problem said they are of the same value in both year, I used 0.

The difference in the cost of goods sold in 2018 from 2017 is that it is greater by 1,200
