▪ 740 units at $7

Answer 1

Answer:

Gross profit = $4,305

Explanation:

The average cost per unit  is the total cost of the goods available for sale divided by the total units of goods available

Average cost  per unit=

= (250× 6)  + (490 × 6) + (740 at $7 )/ (250 +490 + 740)

=$6.5

Cost of golds sold = 1,230 ×6.5 = 7995

Gross profit = Sales Revenue - Cost of goods sold

                     = (1230 × 10) -  7,995

                     = $4,305
