Answer 1

value of ending inventory = $1131

Step-by-step explanation:

given data

June 1 150 units $780

June 10 200 units 1,170

June 15 200 units 1,260

June 28 150 units 990

$4,200

to find out

he value of the ending inventory

solution

first we get here at 1st june cost per unit will be

cost per unit =
`(total\ cost\ inventory )/(no\ of\ unit)` .............1

cost per unit =
`(780)/(150)`

cost per unit = $5.2 per unit

and

on 10th june cost per unit will be

cost per unit =
`(total\ cost\ inventory )/(no\ of\ unit)` .............1

cost per unit =
`(1170)/(200)`

cost per unit = $5.85 per unit

and

at 30th june value of ending inventory that is

value of ending inventory = ( 150 × $5.2 ) + ( 210 - 150 ) × $5.85

value of ending inventory = $780 + $351

value of ending inventory = $1131
