Question

Bonita uses the periodic inventory system. For the current month, the beginning inventory consisted of 7300 units that cost $12.00 each. During the month, the company made two purchases: 3100 units at $13.00 each and 12000 units at $13.50 each. Bonita also sold 13100 units during the month. Using the average cost method, what is the amount of cost of goods sold for the month

Answer 1

$169,514

Step-by-step explanation:

[(7,300 × $12) + (3,100 × $13) + (12,000 × $13.50] ÷(7,300 + 3,100 + 12,000)

=87,600+40,300+162,000÷22,400

=289,900÷22,400

=$12.94

Hence;

$12.94 × 13,100 = $169,514

Therefore using the average cost method, the amount of cost of goods sold for the month will be 169,514
