The firm uses the periodic system and there are 20 units of the commodity on hand at the end of the year. What is the amount of the inventory at the end of the year according to the average cost method?

a. $1,380

Explanation:

Using average cost method, the price of all inventory is the same and this cost is calculated by dividing the total cost of the inventory by the total units.

= (5 * 61) + (15 * 63) + (10 * 74) + (10 * 77)

= 305 + 945 + 740 + 770

= $2,760

Average cost = 2,760/ (5 + 15 + 10 + 10)

= $69 per unit

Total units for the year = 5 + 15 + 10 + 10 = 40 units

Total units on hand = 20 units

Total sold = 40 - 20 units

Cost of goods sold = 20 * 69

= $1,380

odd consecutive integers are odd integers that follow each other. they have a difference of 2 between every two numbers. if n is an odd integer, then n, n+2, n+4 and n+6 will be odd consecutive integers. the first number in the pattern is always the variable on its own or in this case, "n". examples.
