Answer:

COGS = $120,000

Explanation:

We have to determine the average cost per unit:

  • 10,000 units at $3 per unit, total cost $30,000
  • 20,000 units at $6 per unit, total cost $120,000

There are 30,000 units with a total cost of $150,000. The average cost per unit = $150,000 / 30,000 units = $5 per unit

On August 15, 24,000 units were sold and the COGS was $120,000 (= 24,000 units x $5 per unit)
