Answer:
Marigold Company
Cost of goods sold = $9,119
Ending inventory = $7,461
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Units Unit Cost Total Cost
April 1 inventory 250 $14 $ 3,500
April 15 purchase 420 17 7,140
April 23 purchase 330 18 5,940
Total 1,000 $16,580
Weighted-average costs $16.58
Sales 550
Cost of goods sold = 550 * $16.58 = $9,119
Ending inventory = 450 * $16.58 = $7,461
b) The first computation is for the total cost of goods available, which is then divided by the total units available for sale. This gives the weighted-average cost per unit. This unit cost is then multiplied with the units of ending inventory and sales to obtain the cost of the ending inventory and the cost of goods sold, respectively.
