Metro report as inventory 1100 units at 2,4 unit cost, to total cost of 2640

Explanation:

if you put on a datasheet information:

date units unit cost total cost units available

1/1/x3 1000 1 1000 1000 initial

1/7/x3 600 3 1800 1600 purchase

1/20/x3 700 900 sale

1/25/x3 400 5 2000 1100 purchase

1/31/x3 2000 2,4 4800 1100 Final

4800 / 2000 = unit cost in January = 2,4 x 1100 units = 2640
