Answer 1

Answer:

The cost of the 28 units sold is $548

Explanation:

In the given question,  

On March 1 it purchase 12 units for $15 = 12 units × $15 = $180

On March 2 it purchase 12 units for $24 = 12 units × $24 = $288

On March 6 it purchase 7 units for $20 = 7 units × $20 = $140

And, on march it sold 28 units for $63 each  

The 28 units could be taken from  

12 × $15 = $180

12 × $24 = $288

And remaining 4 units × $20 = $80

So, the total cost of units sold = $180 +$288 +$80 = $548
