Answer:

d. $971

Explanation:

Periodic Inventory

Average Cost Method

10 units x $52 = $520

16 units x $54 = $864

26 units x $24 = $624

18 units x $60 = $1,080

Total Units = 10 units + 16 units + 26 units + 18 units

Total units = 70 units

Total Cost = $520 + $864 + $624 + $1,080

Total Cost = $3,088

Average Cost = Total Cost / Total Units

Average Cost = $3,088 / 70 units

Average Cost = $44.1 per unit

Ending Inventory Balance:

22 units x $44.1 per unit = $971
