    Answer:

    Trey Monson

    Determination of the cost of Ending Inventory based on the Weighted Average Method:

    Date Quantity Unit Cost Total Cost

    Dec. 7 Purchase 20 $20 $400

    Dec. 14 Purchase 34 30 1,020

    Total 54 26.30 $1,420.20

    Dec. 15 Sale - 29 26.30 - 762.70

    Dec 15 Balance 25 26.30 $657.50

    Dec. 21 Purchase 30 36 1,080

    Dec. 21 Available 55 31.59 $1,737.50

    Dec. 31 Ending Inventory 55 $31.59 $1,737.50

    Explanation:

    To use the weighted average method, we divide the cost of goods available for sale by the number of units available for sale, which yields the weighted-average cost per unit. The cost of goods available for sale is the sum of beginning inventory and net purchases.
