Andrew Cobb · Answer 1

The answer is: The value of ending inventory is $278

Explanation:

Date Units purch. / sold Unit price Total purchase / sell

Jan. 1 20 units $10 per unit $200

Jan. 12 - 12 units $10 per unit - $120

Jan. 20 18 units $11 per unit $198

TOTAL 26 units $10.69 per unit $278

Using weighted average cost method, the inventory cost is $278, the average cost per unit is: $278 / 26 units = $10.69 per unit
