Weighted Average Cost per unit = $11902500/136500 = $87.20 per unit
Units sold = 11250+3750+1500+27000+25500+30000+26250 =
125250
Units in ending inventory = 136500 - 125250 = 11250 units
Ending Inventory = 11250 x 87.20 = $981000 or $980975
Cost of Good Sold = $11902500-981000 = $10921500 or $10921525
