Answer 1

cost of ending inventory = $158.40

so correct option is A. $158.40

Step-by-step explanation:

given data

August 2 = 10 units were purchased at $12 per unit

August 18 = 15 units were purchased at $14 per unit

August 29 = 12 units were sold

to find out

amount of the cost of goods sold

solution

we get here total purchase that is express as

total purchase = 10 × 12 + 15 × 14

total purchase = $330

total units purchase is = 10 +15 = 25

so weighted average cost will be

weighted average cost =
`(330)/(25)`

weighted average cost = $13.2

cost of ending inventory = $13.2 × 12 units sold

cost of ending inventory = $158.40

so correct option is A. $158.40
