Solution

To calculate the Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) using the weighted average cost method, follow these steps:

  1. Calculate the total cost of the inventory: The beginning inventory has 2 units at 10each,sothats210 each, so that's 2 * 10 = 20.Then,3moreunitswerepurchasedat20. Then, 3 more units were purchased at 12 each, so that's 3 * 12=12 = 36. Add these together to get the total cost of the inventory: 20+20 + 36 = $56.

  2. Calculate the total number of units: The beginning inventory had 2 units, and 3 more were purchased, so the total number of units is 2 + 3 = 5 units.

  3. Calculate the weighted average cost per unit: Divide the total cost of the inventory by the total number of units to get the weighted average cost per unit: 56/5=56 / 5 = 11.20.

  4. Calculate the Cost of Goods Sold: Multiply the weighted average cost per unit by the number of units sold to get the COGS: 11.204=11.20 * 4 = 44.80.

So, the Cost of Goods Sold using the weighted average cost method is $44.80.
