Answer:

Cost of Ending Inventory $ 47,077.74

Units on Hand 31 Jan = 4,600

Weighted Average Cost= $ 10.24per unit

Explanation:

We divide the total cost with the total number of units to get the weighted average cost per unit.

Sunland Company

Units Unit Cost Total Cost

Balance at January 1 9000 $9.70 $87300

Purchases: January 6 6000 10.35 62100

January 26 8300 10.73 89059

Total Units 23,300 238,459

Sales January 7 (7400 )

January 31 (11300 )

Units on Hand 31 Jan = 4,600

Weighted Average Cost= Total Cost/ Total Units = 238,459/ 23,300 =

$ 10.235≅ $ 10.24

Cost of Ending Inventory = 4,600*$ 10.24= $ 47,077.74
