Multiple Choice $747. $768. $838. $774.

Answer 1

Answer:

$768

Explanation:

The computation of the ending inventory using weighted average cost is shown below:

But before that average cost per unit is

= (510 × $2.44 + 380 × $2.72) ÷ ($510 + $380)

= ($1,244.40 + $1,033.60) ÷ (890)

= $2.56

Now the ending inventory is

= (890 - 590) × $2.56

= $768
