Answer 1

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.
