Question

Grays Company uses a perpetual inventory system. On May 1, the company had inventory of 20 units at a cost of $8 each. On May 3, it purchased 30 units at $10 each. 22 units are sold on May 6. Under the weighted average inventory costing method, what amount will be reported as cost of goods sold for the 22 units that were sold

Answer 1

Answer: $9.20

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the weighted average inventory costing method, the price is abased on the number of units and their price.

The above inventory cost would be calculated as follows:

= [ (Opening units * Cost of units) + (Units purchased * Cost of purchase) ] / Total units in inventory

= [ (20 * 8) + (30 * 10) ] / (20 units + 30 units)

= [ 160 + 300 ] / 50

= $9.20
