Answer:

Cost of goods available for sale = $2,895

units available for sale = 75 units      

Explanation:

To simplify the calculations required, we will group the entries into a tabular form, and compute the totals from the table:

Inventory                No. of units             cost per unit($)           overall cost($)

Beginning                      15                                   35                                  525

week 1                            15                                   36                                  540

week 2                           15                                   37                                  555

week 3                           15                                   40                                  600

week 4                           15                                   45                                  675

Total                               75                                                                        2,895

Therefore:

Total Number number of units available for sale = 75 units

Total cost of goods available for sale = $2,895
