Respuesta :

Answer: $13.613

Explanation: 240 units at $13.00

= $3120

380 units at $14.00 = $5320

Total inventory = $8,440

Total unit = 620

Weighted average unit cost for the eventory

= Cost of goods available for sale / units available for sale

= $8,440/620

= $13.613

Answer:

$13.61  

Explanation:

The weighted average system of inventory valuation is one in which the unit price of every purchase is a part of the ending inventory irrespective of the number of inventory purchased and sold.

Unlike the FIFO method,  the expiration date of these inventory items is not a key consideration under this system.

                    Number of Units       Unit price                 Total cost

                         240                              $13                        $3120

                         380                               $14                      $5320

Total                 620                                                           $8440

The weighted average unit cost for these purchases of inventory        

= $8440/620

= $13.61
