June 1 126 units $830
June 10 168 units 1128
June 15 168 units 1152
June 28 126 units 892
For a total amount of $4002
A physical count of merchandise inventory on June 30 reveals that
there are 170 units on hand. Using the average-cost method, the
amount allocated to the ending inventory on June 30 is
a. $1203.
b. $1157.
c. $1120.
d. $1141.
The amount allocated to the ending inventory on June 30 using the average-cost method,
Average unit cost
Average unit cost = Cost of goods available for sale / Total number of units
= $4,002 / [126 units + 168 units + 168 units + 126 units]
= $4,002 / 588 units
= $6.8061 per unit
The amount allocated to the ending inventory on June 30
The amount allocated to the ending inventory on June 30 = Number of units at the end of the period x Average cost per unit
= 170 units x $6.8061 per unit
= $1,157
