Answer 1

Answer:

The weighted average unit cost after the October 22 purchase is $15.50

Explanation:

Under the weighted average method of inventory valuation, the closing inventory is valued at weighted average cost.

It can be calculated as follow

Weighted average unit cost = Inventory Balance / Numbers on units in Inventory

_________________________________ Balance

Date __ Details ___Units_ Rate__Value _ ( Units_Value __ WA cost )

Oct. 1 _ Inventory__480__ $14 __$6,720_( 480__$6,720__ $14 )

Oct.13 _Sale______280__ $14 __$3,920_( 200__$2,800__ $14 )

Oct.22 _Sale_____ 600__ $16 __$9,600_( 800__$12,400__$15.5 )

Placing outstanding values in the above formula

Weighted average unit cost = $12,400 / 800 units = $15.50 per unit
