(Do not round intermediate computations.)

Answer 1

Answer:

$101,904.6

Explanation:

The computation of the cost of goods sold using the average cost method is shown below:

Beginnig Inventory 285 at $157 = $44,745

Purchases   485 at $177 = $85,845

Purchases   185 at $217 = $40,145

Total cost = $170,735

Now  

Total number of units is

= 285 + 485 + 185

= 955

Now  

Average Cost per unit is

= $170,735 ÷ 955

=$ 178.78

And, finally

Cost of goods Sold is

= 570 × $178.78

= $101,904.6
