What is ending inventory using the average cost method? (Do not round intermediate computations.)
$83,845.
$85,845.
$68,830.
$70,830.
Date | Transaction | Number of Units | Cost per Unit | Total cost |
01-Jan | Beginning Inventory | 285 | 157 | 44,745 |
06-May | Purchase | 485 | 177 | 85,845 |
11-Oct | Purchase | 185 | 217 | 40,145 |
Total | 955 | 170,735 |
Number of units sold = 570
Number of units available for sale = 955
Ending inventory units = Number of units available for sale -Number of units sold
= 955-570
= 385
Weighted Average cost per unit = Total cost / Number of units available for sale
= 170,735/955
= $178.780105
Cost of ending inventory = Ending inventory units x Weighted Average cost per unit
= 385 x 178.780105
= $68,830
Third option is correct option.
