Solution

To calculate the average cost per unit under the periodic weighted average inventory system, you need to add up all the costs of the inventory purchased during the period and divide it by the total number of units.

Here's how you do it:

  1. Calculate the total cost of inventory: The beginning inventory is 15 units at 12each,whichequals12 each, which equals 180. The first purchase is 5 units at 15each,whichequals15 each, which equals 75. The second purchase is 10 units at 18each,whichequals18 each, which equals 180. Add these up: 180(beginninginventory)+180 (beginning inventory) + 75 (first purchase) + 180(secondpurchase)=180 (second purchase) = 435.

  2. Calculate the total number of units: The beginning inventory is 15 units. The first purchase is 5 units. The second purchase is 10 units. Add these up: 15 (beginning inventory) + 5 (first purchase) + 10 (second purchase) = 30 units.

  3. Divide the total cost of inventory by the total number of units: 435/30units=435 / 30 units = 14.50 per unit.

So, the average cost per unit is $14.50.
