Computation of the dollar value of cost of goods sold:-

Weighted average cost per unit = Total cost / Total number of units

= ((140 * $11) + (120 * $13) + (300 * $15) + (450 * $17)) / (140 + 120 + 300 + 450)

= ($1,540 + $1,560 + $4,500 + $7,650) / 1,010

= $15,250 / 1,010

= $15.10

Cost of goods sold = Number of units sold * Weighted average cost per unit

= 440 * $15.10

= $6,643.56
