    Ending inventory using the average cost method is $1,583

    Explanation:

    Given in the question,

    44 units at $107 per unit

    72 units at $77 per unit

    174 units at $51 per unit

    Total units = 44 + 72 + 174 = 290 units

    Units left at the end of year = 24

    To calculate the ending inventory using the average cost method, we will first find the average cost of unit during the first year of operations and then muliply it by the units left at hand in the inventory to get answer.

    Total cost = [ (44 * $107) + (72 * $77) + (174 * $51) ]

    = 4,708 + 5,544 + 8,874

    Total cost = $19,126

    Per unit cost = $19,126 : 290 units = $65.95 per unit

    Units held at end of year x cost per unit

    = 24 units * $65.95 = $1,583 (rounded)
