Answer:

Weighted average cost per unit = $10.10

Step-by-step explanation:

We know,

Under weighted average unit cost, the cost for purchased inventory = Total inventory costs ÷ total inventory in units

Given,

Total inventory in units = 205 + 310 = 515 units

Total inventory costs = (205 units × $9.50) + (310 units × $10.50)

= $1,947.50 + $3,255 = $5,202.50

Therefore,

Weighted average cost per unit = $5,202.50 ÷ 515 units

Weighted average cost per unit = $10.10

Therefore, the company will use this cost per unit to determine cost of goods sold and ending inventory.
