Question

Taylor owns a boutique and needed to compute her inventory of all the scarves and jackets. She had 35 scarves on the floor and five in the storeroom. She had 15 jackets on the floor and eight more in the storeroom. Sally purchased each scarf for $28 and each jacket for $95.The weighted average unit cost of scarves and jackets being sold is __________.

Answer 1

Answer: $52.46

Step-by-step explanation:

Total scarves = 35 + 5 = 40

Total jacket = 15 + 8 = 23

Total units = 40 + 23 = 63

Purchase price of scarf = $28

Total scarves = 40

Cost of scarves = 40 × $28 = $1120

Purchase price of jacket = $95

Total jackets = 23

Cost of jackets = 23 × $95 = $2185

Total cost of scarves and jackets = $1120 + $2185 = $3305

Weighted average unit cost:

= Total cost of scarves and jackets / Total units

= $3305 / 63

= $52.46
