August 18 35 units were purchased at $13 per unit. August 29 32 units were sold. What is the amount of the cost of goods sold for this sale?

Answer 1

The amount of the cost of goods sold for this sale is $386

Step-by-step explanation:

For computing the cost of goods sold, first, we have to find out the per unit of the cost which is shown below:

Per unit of cost = (Total purchase cost) ÷ (total units purchased)

where,

Total purchased units = Number of units × purchase price per unit + Number of units × purchase price per unit

= 30 units × $11 + 35 units × $13

= $330 + $455

= $785

And, the total units purchased equal to

= 30 units + 35 units

= 65 units

Now put these values to the above formula

So, the per unit would equal to

= $785 ÷ 65 units

= $12.07 per unit

So, the cost of goods sold equal to

= Number of units sold × per unit

= 32 units × $12.07 per unit

= $386.46
