TB MC Qu. 05-109 Marquis Company uses... Marquis Company uses a weighted-average perpetual inventory system and has the following purchases and sales: August 2 10 units were purchased at $12 per unit. August 18 15 units were purchased at $14 per unit. August 29 12 units were sold. What is the amount of the cost of goods sold for this sale

Answer 1

$158.40

Explanation:

For computation of amount of the cost of goods sold for this sale first we need to find out the Weighted Average Cost per unit which is shown below:-

Weighted Average Cost per unit = ((10 units × $12) + (15 units × $14)] ÷ (10 + 15)

= 330 ÷ $25

= $ 13.20 per unit

Cost of Goods Sold = Purchase per unit × Weighted Average Cost per unit

= 12 units × 13.20 per unit

= $158.40
