What is cost of goods sold using the average cost method

Answer 1

Answer:

$64,000

Explanation:

Calculation to determine the cost of goods sold using the average cost method

First step is to calculate the Average cost

Average cost = [(200 × $140) + (400 × $160) + (100 × $200)] ÷ 700 units

Average cost= $160

Now let calculate the Cost of goods sold

Cost of goods sold = $160 × 400 units

Cost of goods sold = $64,000

Therefore the cost of goods sold using the average cost method will be $64,000
