Answer-60)- The value of Vaughn Manufacturing's inventory at May 31, 2017 is = $2325.
Explanation- Value of Vaughn Manufacturing's inventory at May 31, 2017 = Ending inventory units*Average cost per unit
= (1840 units-1530 units)*$7.5 per unit
= 310 units*$7.5 per unit
= $2325
Where- Average cost per unit = Total cost of inventory/ Total no. of unit
= {(310 units*$7.0 per unit)+ (610 units*$7.0 per unit)+ (920 units*$8.0 per unit)} /(310 units+610 units+920 units)
= ($2170+$4270+$7360)/1840 units
= $13800/1840 units
= $7.5 per unit
Answer-61)- Blue Spruce Corp.'s gross profit for the month of May is= $9570.
Explanation- Gross profit for the month of May is = Total sale amount- Cost of goods sold
= (1740 units*$14.0 per unit) – (1740 units*$8.50 per unit)
= $24360-$14790
= $9570
Where- Average cost per unit = Total cost of inventory/ Total no. of unit
= {(350 units*$8.0 per unit)+ (700 units*$8.0 per unit)+ (1040 units*$9.0 per unit)} /(350 units+700 units+1040 units)
= ($2800+$5600+$9360)/2090 units
= $17760/2090 units
= $8.50 per unit
