During 2021, a company sells 25 units of inventory. The company has the following inventory purchase transactions for 2021: Date Transaction Number of Units Unit Cost Total Cost Jan. 1 Beginning inventory 20 $ 55 $ 1,100 Sep. 8 Purchase 10 26 260 30 $ 1,360 Calculate ending inventory and cost of goods sold for 2021 assuming the company uses the weighted-average cost method. (Round weighted-average unit cost to 4 decimal places. Round your final answers to the nearest dollar amount.)

Answer 1

Answer:

Ending inventory = $227

Cost of good sold = $1,333

Explanation:

Note: The data in the question are merged together and they are first sored before answering the question as follows:

Date    Transaction               Number of Units   Unit Cost   Total Cost

Jan. 1    Beginning inventory       20                       $55          $1,100

Sep. 8   Purchase                         10                          26              260

Total                                              30                                        $1,360

The explanation to the answers are now as follows:

Weighted cost per unit = $1,360/30 = $45.3333

Ending inventory =  (30 - 25) * $45.3333 = $227

Cost of good sold = 25 * $45.3333 = $1,333
