Step-by-step explanation:

Sunland Company

Date Particulars Units Unit Cost Total Cost

July 1 Beginning inventory 72 $19 $1368

7 July Purchases 252 $20 5040

22 July Purchases 36 $22 792

Total 360 $7200

30 June Ending Inventory 120 units

Average Cost= $7200/360= $20

Ending inventory at average cost= 120 units at $20= $2400

We divide the total cost with the total number of units to get the average cost. We multiply the average cost with the ending inventory units to get the vale of ending inventory at average cost.
