    Using the average cost method, the amount of ending inventory is $ 18,235.50

    Explanation:

    Chess Top

    Periodic inventory system

    For the current month,

    Units Unit Cost Total

    Beginning inventory 360 $65 23400

    Purchases: 540 units $68 36720

    Purchases 270 units $70 18900

    Total 1170 79020

    We add the total units and total cost of the units and then divide the total cost by the total number of units to get the average cost per unit.

    Average Cost = Total Cost / Total Units

    = 79020/1170 = $ 67.54 per unit

    Sales 900 units (given)

    Ending Inventory = Total Units Less Sales

    Ending Inventory = 1170 - 900 = 270 units

    Average Cost of Ending Inventory = 270 units * $ 67.54 = $ 18,235.50
