Solution

To calculate the weighted average cost per unit, we need to find the total cost of all units available for sale and divide it by the total number of units available for sale.

From the data given:

  • Beginning inventory: 8 units @ 12=12 = 96
  • Purchase on June 5: 12 units @ 15=15 = 180
  • Purchase on June 28: 10 units @ 18=18 = 180

So, total cost of all units = 96+96 + 180 + 180=180 = 456

Total number of units available for sale = 8 (beginning inventory) + 12 (purchase on June 5) + 10 (purchase on June 28) = 30 units

Therefore, the weighted average cost per unit = Total cost / Total units = 456/30=456 / 30 = 15.20/unit

So, the answer is $15.20/unit.
