    B. $600

    Explanation:

    The average cost method assigns a cost to inventory items based on the total cost of goods purchased (or produced) in a period divided by the total number of items purchased (or produced). Weighted Average Unit Cost is calculated by following formula:

    Weighted Average Unit Cost = Total Cost of Inventory / Total Units in Inventory

    Total value purchased in July = $1,400+$220 = $1,620

    Weighted Average Unit Cost = ($380+$1,620) / 100 = $20

    Ending inventory = 30 x $20 = $600

    Noted: The company did not have date of selling merchandise. In the situation, assuming that the company uses periodic inventory system.
