Question

Given the following​ data, calculate the cost of ending inventory using the average cost method.​ (Round any intermediary and final answers to two decimal​ places.)

Date Item Unit
​1/1 Beginning inventory 70 units at $ 30.00 per unit
​3/5 Purchase of inventory 10 units at $ 10.00 per unit
​5/30 Purchase of inventory 15 units at $ 12.00 per unit
​12/31 Ending inventory 10 units

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

using the weighted average method

average cost per unit = total cost/total units

begning stock 70*30 = 2100

purchases 10*10 = 100

2200/80

w. average per unit cost = 27.5

purchases 15*12 = 180

2200+180=2380/(100+15)

w. average per unit cost = 20.70

there is no purchase after the 5/30 therefore the cost of ending stock under average method will be 20.7 per unit and 20.7*10 =207 total closing cost.
