Compute gross profit earned by the company for each of the four costing methods. For specific identification, the March 9 sale consisted of 100 units from beginning inventory and 230 units from the March 5 purchase; the March 29 sale consisted of 80 units from the March 18 purchase and 120 units from the March 25 purchase. (Round weighted average cost per unit to two decimals and final answers to nearest whole dollar.)\

Gross profit earned by the company for each of the four costing methods = Subtraction of Total cost of goods sold from Total Sales

$48,322 - $30,651 = $17,671

Explanation:

Total sales = (330 x 87.4) + (200 x 97.4) = $48,322

Total cost of goods sold overweighted average method = $30,651

Subtract $48,322 from $30,651 to give $17,671 as the gross profit.
