The average cost per unit is: $15.00

Explanation:

Inventory is one of the most important assets to track in terms of valuation. Not only does it contribute to current assets on the balance sheet, but the cost of inventory sold is included in the cost of goods sold on the income statement. In other words, failure to understand the value of inventory can impact values on the income statement, balance sheet and cash flow statement so it's important to get it right.
