May 7                40                      40                      $17                $17

June 1               (20)                     20                                           $17

July 28              30                      50                     $22               $20

August 27        (30)                     20                                           $20

The average COGS after the purchase on July 28 = [(20 x $17) + (30 x $22)] / 50 = ($340 + $660) / 50 = $20
