Answer:
$986.39
Explanation:
Given :
Value of items in inventory :
(7 * $52) + (19 * $53) + (25 * $28) + (18 * $65) = $3241
Number of items in inventory :
(7 + 19 + 25 + 18) = 69 units
Weighted average inventory cost :
$3241 / 69 = $46.971014
Number of commodity in hand at year end = 21 units

Number of commodity * Average inventory cost
(21 * $46.971014) = $986.39
The amount of inventory at the end of the year according to the average costing method is $986.39
