Required: Monson sells 15 units for $20 each on December 15. Assume the periodic inventory system is used. Determine the costs assigned to ending inventory when costs are assigned based on the weighted average method. (Amounts to be deducted should be indicated with a minus sign. Round cost per units to 2 decimals.)

The costs assigned to ending inventory are $11.33 per unit and $340 total cost.

Explanation:

Note: This question is not complete. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:

Trey Monson starts a merchandising business on December 1 and enters into the following three inventory purchases. Also, on December 15, Monson sells 15 units for $20 each.

Purchases on December 7           10 units at $ 6.00 cost

Purchases on December 14         20 units at $12.00 cost

Purchases on December 21          15 units at $14.00 cost

Required: Monson sells 15 units for $20 each on December 15. Assume the periodic inventory system is used. Determine the costs assigned to ending inventory when costs are assigned based on the weighted average method. (Amounts to be deducted should be indicated with a minus sign. Round cost per units to 2 decimals.)

The explanation of the answer is no provided as follows:

Periodic inventory refers to an inventory system that is updated on a periodic basis such as monthly, quarterly, or annually.

The weighted average method is a formula that divides the cost of products offered for sale by the number of units available for sales.

Combining these two methods, we have:

Value of Purchases on December 7 = 10 * $6.00 = $60

Value of Purchases on December 14 = 20 * $12.00 = $240

Value of Purchases on December 21 = 15 * $14.00 = $210

Total value of units available for sale = $60 + $240 + $210 = $510

Total units available for sale = 10 + 20 + 15 = 45

Costs assigned to ending inventory per unit = Weighted average cost per unit = Total value of units available for sale / Total units available for sale $510 / 45 = $11.33

Units of ending inventory = Total units available for sale – Number of units sold = 45 - 15 = 30

Total cost of ending inventory = Units of ending inventory * Weighted average cost per unit = $11.33 * 30 = $340

Therefore, the costs assigned to ending inventory are $11.33 per unit and $340 total cost.

there was no passage listed but using the process of elimination i'd say it was d. the high economy would do the opposite. i don't see how low prices would affect it. high unemployment is possible but i feel d is the better answer.
