Purchase 1 consisted of 500 units at a ost of $210. The second purchase consisted of 350 units that cost $220 each. Assuming Benson uses weighted average cost flow and sells 700 units of inventory during Year 2, the amount of ending inventory would be

Answer 1

Answer:

$63,600

Explanation:

Th weighted average method is one that ensures that all the various prices at which inventory is bought is considered to determining the price at which inventory is issued.

Amount of Inventory at

= (150 × 200) + (500 × 210) + (350 × 220) = $212,000

Total quantity (before sales) = 150 + 500 + 350 = 1000 units

Weight average cost per unit = $212,000/1000 = $212

The 700 units sold will be value at $212 per unit.

Hence total cost of goods sold = $212 × 700 = $148,400

Closing inventory amount = $212,000 - $148,400

= $63,600
