(a) Determine the cost of goods available for sale.

(b) Calculate Average Cost. (Round answer to 3 decimal places, e.g. 5.125.)

Expert Solution

Cost of Goods Available for Sale = Value of Opening Stock + Value of Purchases

Value of Opening Stock = 3440 Units * $10 = $34,400

Value of Purchases = (2,752 Units * $11) + (4,816 Units * $12) + (6,880 Units* $14) + (2,752 Units * $15)

Value of Purchases = $30,272 + $57,792 + $96,320 + $41,280 = $225,664

Cost of Goods Available for Sale = $34,400 + $225,664 = $260,064

Average Cost = Cost of Goods Available for Sale/ (Opening Stock Units + Purchases Units)

Average Cost = $260,064/ (3440 Units+ (2,752 Units+4,816 Units+6,880 Units+2,752 Units))

Average Cost = $260,064/ 20640 Units = $12.6 per Unit
