Expert Solution
Part 1)
Average cost = total cost available for sale / total units acquired
Where
Total cost availablefor sale (opening stock + purchase) = (162 *$19 +207*$21+92*$23+91*$23) = $11634
Total units(opening stock + purchase) = 162+207+92+91 = 552
Average cost = $11634/552 =$21.076
Part 2)
ii) Ending units = opening stock + total purchase - total sales = 552-(184+51+127) =190
Value of ending inventory = units * average cost =190 * 21.076 = $4004.44
i) Cost of goods sold (COGS) = total cost available for sale - ending inventory = $11634 -$4004.44 = $7629.56
iii)
Gross profit = total sales - COGS
Total sales = 184*$30 +51*$44+127*$47 = $13733
Gross profit = $13733-$7629.56 = $6103.44
