  • Explanation : Weighted average cost per unit = Total cost incurred ÷ Toatal units purchased. Weighted average cost per unit = [(180 * 200) + (20 * 210) + (200 * 225) + (100 * 250)] ÷ 500 = 110,200/500 = $220.4 Ending inventory = Number of units remaining * weighted average cost Ending inventory = [(180 + 20 + 200 + 100) - (150 + 25 + 175)] * 220.4 = $33,060.
