    Value of closing inventory = $25771.04

    Explanation:

    To calculate the value of ending inventory under a periodic average cost method, we will calculate the average price per unit of inventory at the end of the month. To calculate the average price per unit, we simply divide the total cost of the inventory by the total number of units for the month.

    Average cost per unit = Total cost of all units for the month / Total units available for the month

    Total cost of all units:

    Beginning inventory (485 * 66) 32010

    Purchase 1 (725 * 69) 50025

    Purchase 2 (364 * 71) 25844

    Total 107879

    Total Units

    Beginning Inventory 485

    Purchase 1 725

    Purchase 2 364

    Total 1574

    Average cost per unit = 107879 / 1574

    Average cost per unit = $68.54

    Units of closing inventory = 1574 - 1198 = 376 units

    Value of closing inventory = 376 * 68.54

    Value of closing inventory = $25771.04
