    The cost of goods sold using the average-cost method is $1,818.76

    Explanation:

    The computation of the average cost per unit is shown below:

    = (Beginning inventory units * price per unit + purchase inventory units * price per unit + purchase inventory units * price per unit) : (Beginning inventory units + purchase inventory units + purchase inventory units)

    = (70 units * $20 + 20 units * $20 + 20 units * $32) : (70 units + 20 units + 20 units)

    = ($1,400 + $400 + $640 units) : (110 units)

    = ($2,440 units) : (110 units)

    = $22.18 per unit

    Now the cost of goods sold equals to

    = (Beginning inventory units * average cost per unit + purchase inventory units * average cost per unit - ending inventory units * average cost per unit)

    = 70 units * $22.18 per unit + 40 units * $22.18 per unit - 28 units * $22.18 per unit

    = $1552.60 + $887.20 - $621.04

    = $1,818.76

    The purchase units = 20 units + 20 units = 40 units
