    Part a. Determine the weighted average unit cost after the October 22 purchase

    $9.50

    Part b. Determine the cost of goods sold on October 29

    $ 2, 660

    Part c. Determine the inventory on October 31.

    $ 2,090

    Explanation:

    The Weighted Average Method is an Inventory Management System that calculates a new cost per unit of inventory after each purchase on a weighted average.

    Perpetual Inventory system records the cost of inventory after each sale of goods not after the period end (Periodic).

    Part a. Determine the weighted average unit cost after the October 22 purchase

    Weighted average unit cost = Total Cost / Total Units

    = ((125 * $8) + (375 * $10)) / (125+375)

    = $9.50

    Part b. Determine the cost of goods sold on October 29

    Cost of goods sold = Units Sold * Cost Per Unit

    = 280 units * $9.50

    = $ 2, 660

    Part c. Determine the inventory on October 31.

    Inventory = Inventory Remaining * Cost Per Unit

    = 220 * $9.50

    = $ 2,090
