230. Use the information in the table to answer this question. If Addison uses the weighted average cost method, calculate
the inventory balance at the end of September?
Weighted average is calculated after each purchase.
Weighted average after Sep. 1 purchase = $20
Weighted average after Sep. 10 purchase = $23.75
Weighted average after Sep. 30 purchase = $27.50
50 units in inv. at Sep. 30 $27.50 = $1,375.00

231. Use the information in the table to answer this question. Using a perpetual system, what is the cost of the goods sold
for November if the company uses the weighted average cost method?
The cost of the goods sold for November using weighted average is 10 units sold on
November 4 at $19 + 20 units sold on November 17 at $19.75 = $585.
The weighted average of each unit on Nov. 10 is (10 units $19) + (30 units $20) /
40 units = $19.75 per unit.
The 20 units sold on November 17 use the $19.75 weighted average cost.
