Question
Assume that J-Mart uses a perpetual weighted average inventory system. During the period, it had two sales. Calculate the average cost per unit on hand as of June 8 when it made its first sale. DateItemUnits/CostJun 1Beginning Inventory10 @ 15Jun 8Sale6 unitsJun 28Purchase10 @ 15/unit13.50/unit$10/unit
Solution
To calculate the average cost per unit on hand as of June 8 when the first sale was made, we need to consider the inventory available up to that date.
As of June 8, the inventory consisted of the beginning inventory (10 units @ 15/unit).
So, the total cost of inventory as of June 8 is: (10 units * 15/unit) = 150 = $270
The total number of units in inventory as of June 8 is: 10 units (beginning inventory) + 10 units (purchased on June 5) = 20 units
Therefore, the average cost per unit on hand as of June 8 is: Total cost of inventory / Total number of units = 13.50/unit
So, the answer is $13.50/unit.
