Solution

To calculate the weighted average cost per unit, you need to add up the total cost of all units and then divide by the total number of units.

First, calculate the total cost of the beginning inventory: 2 units * 10/unit=10/unit = 20 Next, calculate the total cost of the additional units purchased: 3 units * 12/unit=12/unit = 36 Add these two amounts together to get the total cost of all units: 20+20 + 36 = $56

Then, calculate the total number of units: 2 units (beginning inventory) + 3 units (purchased) = 5 units

Finally, divide the total cost by the total number of units to get the weighted average cost per unit: 56/5units=56 / 5 units = 11.20/unit

So, the weighted average cost per unit is $11.20.
