Step-by-step explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Date Description Units Unit Cost Total Cost

Oct. 1 Inventory 300 $9 $2,700

Oct. 13 Sale (180)

Oct. 22 Purchase 380 $11 4,180

Oct. 29 Sale (400)

Weighted-average unit cost after the October 22 Purchase:

Date Description Units Unit Cost Total Cost

Oct. 1 Inventory 120 $9 $1,080

Oct. 22 Purchase 380 $11 4,180

Total inventory and cost 500 $5,260

Unit cost = $10.52 ($5,260/500)

Cost of goods sold on October 29 = $4,208 (400 * $10.52)

Ending inventory = $1,052 (100 * $10.52)
