At May 1, 2018, Bibby Company had beginning inventory consisting of 200 units with a unit cost of $7. During May, the company purchased inventory as follows:
800 units at $7
600 units at $8
The company sold 1,000 units during the month for $12 per unit. Bibby uses the average cost method.
What is the average cost per unit for May?
What is the value of Bibby’s inventory at May 31, 2018?
Cost of units available for sale = (200 units * $7) + (800 units * $7) + (600 units * $8)
= $1,400 + $5,600 + $4,800
= $11,800
Number of units available for sale = 200 units + 800 units + 600 units
= 1,600
Average cost per unit for May = Cost of units available for sale / Number of units available for sale
= $11,800 / 1,600
= $7.375
Units in Ending inventory = Number of units available for sale - Units sold
= 1,600 - 1,000
= 600
Value of Bibby’s inventory at May 31, 2018 = 600 units * $7.375 per unit
= $4,425
