Expert Answer

 

Step-1:Calculate Weighted Average Cost per unit
Weighted Average Cost per unit = ((570*50)+(570*60)+(1060*61))/(570+570+1060)
= $    57.89
Step-2:Calculate Units sold and ending Inventory
Units Available for sale (570+570+1060)         2,200
Less:Units sold (1000+770)         1,770
Ending Inventory            430
Step-3:Calculation of Ending Inventory and cost of goods sold
Cost of Ending Inventory            430 x $    57.89 = $         24,893
Cost of goods sold         2,200 x $    57.89 = $      1,27,360
Thus,
January 31 endng inventory $     24,893
Cost of goods sold for January $ 1,27,360
