Assume that we use a perpetual inventory system and that five identical units are purchased at the following dates and costs: April 5 $10 April 10 $12 April 15 $14 April 20 $16 April 22 $17 One unit is sold on April 25. The company uses the weighted average inventory costing method. Identify the cost of the ending inventory on the balance sheet. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

Step 1
Calculate the total cost of the inventory before the sale: April 5: 1 unit * $10 = $10 April 10: 1 unit * $12 = $12 April 15: 1 unit * $14 = $14 April 20: 1 unit * $16 = $16 April 22: 1 unit * $17 = $17 Total cost = $10 + $12 + $14 + $16 + $17 = Show more…

Weighted Average Cost Flow Method Under Perpetual Inventory System The following units of a particular item were available for sale during the calendar year: Jan. 1 Inventory 15,000 units at $60.00 Mar. 18 Sale 12,000 units May 2 Purchase 27,000 units at $62.00 Aug. 9 Sale 22,500 units Oct. 20 Purchase 10,500 units at $64.20 The firm uses the weighted average cost method with a perpetual inventory system. Determine the cost of merchandise sold for each sale and the inventory balance after each sale. Present the data in the form illustrated in Exhibit 5.
