Answer 1

Answer:

$46.56

Explanation:

Calculation to determine the cost per unit.

Units Units Cost Total cost

June1 Beginning inventory 38* $42 =$1,596

June4 Purchase 135 *$46=$6,210

June18 Purchase 58 *$48=$2,784

June18 Purchase return (9) *$48=($432)

June28 Purchase 33 *$52=$1,716

Total= 255 $11,874

Now let calculate the cost per unit using this formula

Weighted average cost per unit=Costs of goods sold for sale/Units available for sales

Let plug in the formula

Weighted average cost per unit=$11,874/255

Weighted average cost per unit=$46.56

Therefore the cost per unit is $46.56
