Answer:
Value of closing inventory = $25771.04
Explanation:
To calculate the value of ending inventory under a periodic average cost method, we will calculate the average price per unit of inventory at the end of the month. To calculate the average price per unit, we simply divide the total cost of the inventory by the total number of units for the month.
Average cost per unit = Total cost of all units for the month / Total units available for the month

<u>Total cost of all units:</u>
Beginning inventory (485 * 66) 32010
Purchase 1 (725 * 69) 50025
Purchase 2 (364 * 71) <u> 25844</u>
Total 107879
<u>Total Units</u>
Beginning Inventory 485
Purchase 1 725
Purchase 2 <u>364</u>
Total 1574
Average cost per unit = 107879 / 1574
Average cost per unit = $68.54
Units of closing inventory = 1574 - 1198 = 376 units
Value of closing inventory = 376 * 68.54
Value of closing inventory = $25771.04
