    Amount of ending inventory = 300 units x 2.15 = $645

    Explanation:

    The question says to amount of closing inventory based on the Weighted average cost flow method.

    The weighted average cost method of valuation divides the Cost of Goods Available with the number of available units to generated the cost per unit.

    Therefore,

    Unit Cost per unit Total

    Inventory Purchased on Jan, 1 400 2 $800

    Inventory Purchased Jan, 10 600 2.25 $1,350

    The total Cost 1,000 $2,150

    The weighted Average cost per unit = Total cost / the Total Units

    The total cost is $2,150 and total units is 100 units

    WAC per unit = $2,150/1,000

    = $2.15

    The next step is to use the WACC per unit to determine the closing inventory

    Since 700 units were sold, out of 1000

    Closing inventory = 1,000-700 = 300 units

    Amount of ending inventory = 300 units x 2.15 = $645
