Answer 1

$572

Step-by-step explanation:

The calculation of the ending inventory under weighted average cost is given below:

But before that the average cost per unit should be

= (510 × $2.38 + 370 × $2.63) ÷ (510 units + 370 units)

= ($1,213.80 + $973.10) ÷ (880 units)

= $2.4851

Now the ending inventory should be

= (510 + 370 - 650) × $2.4851

= $572
