What is cost of goods sold using the average cost method

Answer 1

$87,858.55

Step-by-step explanation:

Date Transaction Number of Units Cost per Unit

1/1 Beg. 255 $151

6/5 Purchase 455 $171

11/10 Purchase 155 $211

total 865

total purchases + beginning inventory = (255 x $151) + (455 x $171) + (155 x $211) = $149,015

average cost per unit = $149,015 / 865 units = $172.27

COGS = $172.27 x 510 units = $87,858.55
