Using a weighted average, the cost of goods sold for the sale of 23 units on August 30 is $2,504.93 and the inventory balance at August 30 is $1,306.92 (12 units).

What is the weighted average inventory method?

The weighted average inventory method takes into consideration the weight (units and price) of each purchase to arrive at the total cost of goods available for sale.

The total cost of goods available for sale is then divided by the units available for sale to arrive at the weighted unit cost.

Data and Calculations:

August 1,  Purchase     10 units     $91     $910

August 3, Purchase     15 units   $106 $1,590

August 14, Sales         20 units

August 17, Purchase   20 units   $115 $2,300

August 28, Purchase   10 units  $119  $1,190

August 30, Sales        23 units.

Costs of goods available 55              $5,990

Units sold =                       43

Ending stock                     12 (55 - 43)

Weighted average cost per unit = $108.91 ($5,990/55)

Thus, using a weighted average, the cost of goods sold for the sale of 23 units on August 30 is $2,504.93 and the inventory balance at August 30 is $1,306.92 (12 units).
