    The correct answer is C

    Explanation:

    The formula for computing the ending inventory through using the average cost is as:

    Ending Inventory = Beginning Inventory + Purchases - COGS (Cost of goods sold)

    where

    Beginning inventory = Units * Price

    = 10 * $50

    = $500

    Purchases = First Purchase + Second Purchase + Third Purchases

    Purchases = Units * Price + Units * Price + Units * Price

    Purchases = 17 * $52 + 27 * $53 + 19 * $55

    Purchases = $884 + $1,431 + $1,045

    Purchases = $3,360

    COGS = Units * Price

    COGS = 26 * Price

    COGS = 26 * $53

    COGS = $1,378

    Price is computed as:

    Price = $50 + $52 + $53 + $55 / 4

    Price = $52.5

    Putting the values above:

    Ending Inventory = $500 + $3,360 - $1,378

    Ending Inventory = $2,485
