Answer:
Explanation:
From the question given; The objective here is to determine the profit maximizing bid-ask spread per unit for a market maker. In order to achieve that; The demand supply schedule of the number of units bought and sold need to be computed which is shown in the table below.
Price Quantity demanded by buyers Quantity sold by sellers
$14 1 11
$13 2 10
$12 3 9
$11 4 8
$10 5 7
$9 6 6
$8 7 5
$7 8 4
$6 9 3
$5 10 2
$4 11 1
However; As the two transactions are happening simultaneously; There are 11 people participating in buying of a good and selling from one person to the other.
But the maximum even number of people that can be part of this trade is only 10 people.
So; for the individual having an higher value for the good will be able to afford it and which are those that falls into the category of $14,$13,$12,$11,$10,$9 can place bid for the good.
On the other hand, the individual having a lower value for the good will sell it and which are those that falls into the category of $4,$5,$6,$7,$8,$9 and would want to sell it for the ask price of the good.
In this trend, we understand that the individual valuing the good for $9 won't be able to participate due to the fact that He appears on both trends because in the demand side , he have the lowest willingness to pay and at the seller's side he has the the highest value for the good and that the equilibrium price in this market is $ 9 because at this price the quantity demanded equals quantity supplied .
Thus; we can conclude that there are 5 transactions in the maximizing bid-ask spread per unit for a market maker.
During the year, direct labor costs of $30,000 were incurred, manufacturing overhead totaled $42,000, materials purchased were $27,000, and selling and administrative costs were $22,000. Champagne sold 25,000 units of product during the year at a sales price of $5.00 per unit. What were the total manufacturing costs for the year assuming $2 comma 080 of indirect materials were used during the period?
Answer:
Using the models for total manufacturing cost that includes just direct labour costs, direct materials cost and overhead costs, total manufacturing cost = $99,000
Using the model that includes selling and administrative costs & indirect materials cost, total manufacturing cost = $123,080
Explanation:
Total manufacturing cost is a sum of the amount of cost incurred by a business to produce goods in a reporting period.
It usually consists of direct labour costs, direct materials cost and overhead costs.
In some models, the selling and administrative costs & cost of indirect materials are included.
Direct labour cost = $30,000
Manufacturing overhead costs = $42,000
Direct materials cost = $27,000
Total manufacturing cost = 30000 + 42000 + 27000 = $99,000
Selling and Administrative costs = $22,000
Indirect materials cost = $2,080
Total materials cost including selling and administrative costs & indirect materials cost = 99000 + 22000 + 2080 = $123,080

Bandar Industries Berhad of Malaysia manufactures sporting equipment. One of the company’s products, a football helmet for the North American market, requires a special plastic. During the quarter ending June 30, the company manufactured 3,100 helmets, using 2,077 kilograms of plastic. The plastic cost the company $13,708. According to the standard cost card, each helmet should require 0.62 kilograms of plastic, at a cost of $7.00 per kilogram.
Required:
1. What is the standard quantity of kilograms of plastic (SQ) that is allowed to make 3,100 helmets?
2. What is the standard materials cost allowed (SQ × SP) to make 3,100 helmets?
3. What is the materials spending variance?
4. What is the materials price variance and the materials quantity variance? (For requirements 3 and 4, indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance). Input all amounts as positive values. Do not round intermediate calculations.)
Answer:
1. 1,922
2. $13,454
3. $254 Unfavorable
4. 831 Favorable
$1,085 Unfavorable
Explanation:
1. The computation of standard quantity of kilograms of plastic is shown below:-
Standard quantity of kilograms allowed = Helmets manufactured × Required kilograms of plastic
= 3,100 × 0.62
= 1,922
2. The computation of standard materials cost allowed is shown below:-
Standard cost allowed for actual output = Standard quantity of kilograms allowed × Cost per kilogram
= 1,922 × $7
= $13,454
3. The computation of materials spending variance is shown below:-
Materials spending variance = Plastic cost - Standard cost allowed for actual output
= $13,708 - $13,454
= $254 Unfavorable
4. The computation of materials price variance and the materials quantity variance is shown below:-
Materials price variance = Plastic cost - (Plastic in kilograms × Cost per kilograms)
= $13,708 - (2,077 × $7)
= 831 Favorable
Materials quantity variance = Cost per kilograms × (Plastic in kilograms - Standard quantity of kilograms allowed)
= $7 × (2,077 - 1,922)
= $1,085 Unfavorable
So, we have applied the above formulas.

Explanation:
1) Corporation management means that experts can be hired as managers. On the other hand, the managers may not act in the best interest of the owners, even though, they are legally required to do so.
2) Limited liability of stockholders, government regulations, and additional taxes are the major disadvantages of a corporation. Limited liability of stockholders may be a disadvantage to non-stockholders, but it is an advantage for stockholders, who will not be required to contribute more money to offset liabilities of the corporation in the event of liquidation. Since corporations are distinct persons in law, they also need to be regulated and taxed as separate persons. So, this is not a disadvantage. It is only a consequence of being separate entity, like all individuals.
3) Organization costs include legal payments, state and federal registration, and incorporation fees, promotions, and charges associated with the underwriting of stocks and bonds. Organization costs can be classified as assets on the company's balance sheet.
4) A share in a company's stock accords some rights on the holder as itemized above.
5) The number of issued shares may be equal to or less than the authorized shares. Some companies do not issue all the shares that they are authorized to issue at the same time.
6) Authorization of capital stock does not require a journal entry. A memorandum record of the authorization is instead maintained to show the number of authorized capital shares and the par value.
7) There is no question 7.
8) Initial public offerings are made directly to investors. The stock exchange market caters for the exchange of shares among investors. The company is not involved and does not take any financial record, except the register of shareholders.
9) The market price of shares may be more or less than the par value. The market price is determined by investors, who exchange shares at arm's length in the stock exchange market. The par value is determined by those authorizing the issue of shares.
10) Retained Earnings are the income generated by the corporation which have not been distributed to shareholders in the form of dividends.
Le Son, Inc., has current liabilities of $11,700 an accounts receivable of $15,200. The firm has total assets of $43,400 and net fixed assets of $24,800. The owners' equity has a book value of $21,000. What is the amount of the net working capital
Answer:
Explanation:
These terms are culled from Balance sheet and Balance sheet have two sides, The Debit and Credit side. The debit side contain the Capital, Current Liabilities among others and The Credit side contain The Fixed asset and the Current asset
The amount of Net working capital is derived from Current asset - Current Liability
Net working capital = Current asset - Current Liability
Where Current asset = Total asset - Net Fixed asset= 43,400-24,800 = 18,600
Where Current Liability = 11,700
Therefore, Net working capital = $18,600 - $11,700 = $6,900
The amount of the net working capital = $6,900

Cost that will no longer be incurred = $90320
Explanation:
$
The relevant variable cost
= 46,000 + 10,500 + 32,500 $89,000
Cost of external supply
= 94.75 × 1090= $103,277.50
Increase in of purchase 14,277.50
Savings in fixed cost (6%× 22,000) ( 1320
Net increase in cost if purchased 12,957.50
Cost that will no longer be incurred = 89,000 +1320 = $90320
Cost that will no longer be incurred = $90320
There are 100 used laptop g for sale on the market. 40% of them are in good condition, and the rest of them are broken, which is the common knowledge to the owners and the buyers. Owners of broken laptops are willing to sell them for $300. Owners of good used laptops are willing to sell them if the price is above $1600 but will keep them if the price is lower than $1600. There is a large number of potential buyers who are willing to pay $2000 for a good laptop and $600 for a broken laptop. Buyers can't tell good laptops from bad, but original owners know. In equilibrium, what could be the maximum price set for a broken laptop to be sold
Answer:
In equilibrium the maximum price set for a broken laptop to be sold is $600
Explanation:
According to the given data we have the following:
It is given that 40% laptops are in good condition. This implies that 60% are in bad condition.
In ordert to calculate the maximum price set for a broken laptop to be sold we would have to calculate the expected price that the buyers will be willing to pay for a laptop as follows:
Expected price=0.60($2000)+0.40($600)
Expected price=$1,200+$240
Expected price=$1,440
As the owners of good laptops are willing to sell their laptops for $1,800, whis is more that $1,440, they will not sell their products.
This implies that only bad laptops are sold in the market. The willingless to pay for the bad laptops is $600
Therefore, In equilibrium the maximum price set for a broken laptop to be sold is $600
Read the following situation, and then answer the questions.
You have been working in an entry-level position in the Environmental Health and Safety division of a company for the last six months. You spend your time reviewing safety reports, entering them into the database, and compiling statistical analyses of the results for your superior, Ray Blaine.

2) Asking questions in return lets the other person know that you are interested in the conversation.
Answer:
Question 1 answer is B
Question 2 answer is C
Explanation:
1. From the data in the question, we can tell what your superior has in mind.
- The fact that Mr Blaine has been asking when each report will be finished shows that he is concerned ABOUT THE AMOUNT OF TIME it takes you to complete work on a safety report.
- He often compliments you on the results of your past analyses. This means that he is recertifying that your results come out fine and accurate BUT need to start coming out FASTER. He uses the compliments to lift your spirit so you don't feel downcast by the complaints. So you can be sure that as far as the work is concerned, YOU ARE GETTING IT RIGHT but as far as delivery window is concerned, you are delivering SLOWLY.
So the answer is B - he is most concerned about the timeframe you use to go through each report. He wants you to understand that good timing adds to the quality of a result!
2. The three options here are things you can do, to listen more effectively to your superior. The most important though is C.
You need to ask questions in return!
- Ask questions on the clarification of what exactly you are expected to do, in order to produce results that are both accurate and timely.
- Ask Mr. Blaine how he thinks you should go about it.
- Ask questions where you don't understand
- Ask when exactly you are to submit each result
After he replies, put his advice and corrections into practice.

Last year, Bad Tattoo Co. had additions to retained earnings of $4,865 on sales of $95,805. The company had costs of $75,885, dividends of $3,040, and interest expense of $2,120. If the tax rate was 35 percent, what the depreciation expense
Answer:
The depreciation expense is $5638.46 and the Addition to retained earnings is 4865
Explanation:
Solution
Given that:
Sales = $95805
Less: Costs = $75885
Less depreciation expense ($95805 - $75,885 - 14281.54) = $5638.46
EBIT (12161.54 + 2120) = 14281.54
Less: Interest expense =2120
EBT (100%)(7905/0.65) = 12161.54
Less: tax at 35%(12161.54*35%) =4256.54
The Net income(65%) = 7905
The Less:dividends = 3040
Addition to retained earnings =4865
Zeke Company sells 26,900 units at $16 per unit. Variable costs are $9 per unit, and fixed costs are $38,100. The contribution margin ratio and the unit contribution margin, respectively, are
Answer:
Contribution margin ratio= 0.4375
Contribution margin= $7
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Zeke Company sells 26,900 units at $16 per unit. Variable costs are $9 per unit, and fixed costs are $38,100.
To calculate the contribution margin per unit, we need to use the following formula:
Contribution margin= selling price - unitary variable cost
Contribution margin= 16 - 9= $7
Now, we can calculate the contribution margin ratio:
Contribution margin ratio= contribution margin/ selling price
Contribution margin ratio= 7/16
Contribution margin ratio= 0.4375
A company uses the percent of sales method to determine its bad debts expense. At the end of the current year, the company's unadjusted trial balance reported the following selected amounts: Accounts receivable $ 345,000 debit Allowance for uncollectible accounts 700 debit Net Sales 790,000 credit All sales are made on credit. Based on past experience, the company estimates that 0.6% of net credit sales are uncollectible. What amount should be debited to Bad Debts Expense when the year-end adjusting entry is prepared?
Answer: $5,440
Explanation:
When using the percent of sales method to determine bad debts, the company estimates a percentage that it believes will results in uncollectible debt and then applies it to the sales/revenue figure. The figure that is calculated is then debited along with the debit balance on the Allowance for doubtful accounts to the Bad debts account for the year and credited to the Allowance for doubtful accounts.
This company estimates that they will have 0.6% of credit sales uncollectible.
There are also $790,000 in sales of which all are on credit.
The Uncollectible estimate is therefore,
= 790,000 * 0.6%
= $4,740
This figure is then added to the debit amount on the Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts.
= 4,470 + 700
= $5,440
Note; A debit balance on the Allowance for doubtful debt account signifies that the bad debts were higher than anticipated the last time. This is why the figure is added to the current bad debts expense.

You just made the last monthly payment on a 30 year mortgage -- the house is yours! In your joyous moment, you calculate how much you made in payments over those 30 years, and it is $647,514! If your interest rate was an APR of 6%, and you made equal monthly payments, how much did you originally borrow for this house
Answer:
$112,807
Explanation:
To calculate the amount of money you borrowed, you have to use the formula to calculate the present value:
PV=FV/(1+r)^n
PV= pressent value
FV= future value= 647,514
r= rate= 6%
n= number of periods of time= 30
PV=647,514/(1+0.06)^30
PV=647,514/(1.06)^30
PV=647,514/5.74
PV=112,807
According to this, you originally borrowed $112,807 for this house.
"Donald is a 21-year-old full-time college student. During 2019, he earned $2,550 from a part-time job and $1,150 in interest income. If Donald is a dependent of his parents, what is his standard deduction amount
Answer:
His standard deduction amount would be of $ 2,900
Explanation:
In order to calculate his standard deducion amount If Donald is a dependent of his parents we would have to make the following calculation:
Since His earned income is more than $1,150, therefore, Standard Deduction would be= $2,550 + $350
Standard Deduction would be= $2,900
Therefore, If Donald is a dependent of his parents, his standard deduction amount would be of $ 2,900
A water utility is planning to construct a grease treatment facility so that local haulers will not have to transport grease to a city 550 km away. The facility will cost $400,000 to build and $160,000 per year to operate. Benefits to the haulers and restaurant owners (through reduced costs) are expected to be $250,000 per year. If the facility will have a 10-year life, the B/C ratio at 6% per year is closest to:
Answer:
The B/C ratio at 6% per year is closest to 1.17
Explanation:
In order to calculate the B/C ratio at 6% per year we would have to make first the following calculations:
Present Worth(PW) of annual operating cost (excel formula) =PV(0.06,10,160000,0) = $1,177,613.93
PW of annual benefit (excel formula) =PV(0.06,10,250000,0) = $1,840,021.76
Present cost (at beginning of project) = $400,000
Therefore, to calculate the B/C ratio at 6% we would use the following formula:
B/C ratio at 6%=PW of benefits-PW of disbenefits/Initial cost+PW of operating and maintenance-PW of salvage value
B/C ratio = ($1,840,021.76 - 0)/($400,000 - $1,177,613.93) = 1.17
Cost of goods manufactured equals $55,000 for 2020. Finished goods inventory is $2,000 at the beginning of the year and $5,500 at the end of the year. Beginning and ending work in process for 2020 are $4,000 and $5,000, respectively. How much is cost of goods sold for the year?
Answer:
$51,500
Explanation:
The computation of the cost of goods sold for the year is shown below:
As we know that
Cost of Goods Sold = Beginning balance of Finished Goods Inventory + Cost of Goods Manufactured – Ending balance of Finished Goods Inventory
= $2,000 + $55,000 - $5,500
= $51,500
We simply applied the cost of goods sold formula by taking the three items into the computation part

The RST Company makes 38,000 parts to be used in its main products. The cost per part at this activity level is:
Direct materials
$
6.50
Direct labor
$
6.60
Variable manufacturing overhead
$
3.75
Fixed manufacturing overhead
$
3.45
An outside supplier offered to supply RST Company this part at $18 per unit. If RST Company decides not to make the parts, there would be no other use for the production facilities and none of the fixed manufacturing overhead cost could be avoided. Direct labor is a variable cost. The annual financial advantage (disadvantage) for the company as a result of buying these parts from the outside supplier rather than making them internally would be:
($186,200)
($87,400)
($43,700)
$87,400

An asset is acquired using a noninterest-bearing note payable for $100,000 due in two years. Management records the purchase with a debit to the asset for $100,000 and a credit to notes payable for $100,000. Which of the following statements is correct?A. Management has properly recorded the transaction.B. Management has not considered the present value of the note in recording the asset.C. Management should not record the asset until the note has been paid.D. Management should record the note for more than $100,000 to account for the underlying interest.
Answer:
The answer is A. Management has properly recorded the transaction.
Explanation:
According to the given data Since the note is non interest bearing, no interest will be paid on the bond.
Therefore, asset will be debited and note payable will be credited by the full amount.
Therefore, the Management has properly recorded the transaction.
The joural entry would be as follows:
Debit Credit
asset $100,000
note payable $100,000
The rate of economic growth per capita in france from 1996 to 2000 was 1.9% per year, while in korea over the same period it was 4.2%. Per capita real GDP was $28,900 in france in 2003, and $12,700 in korea. Assume the growth rates for each country remain the same.
1. Compute the doubling time for France’s per capita real GDP.
2. Compute the doubling time for Korea’s per capita real GDP.
3. What will France’s per capita real GDP be in 2045?
4. What will Korea’s per capita real GDP be in 2045?
Answer:
36.83 years
16.85 years
$63,710.88
$ 71,490.43
Explanation:
We can use the nper formula in excel to compute the doubling time for the capital real GDP of both countries
=nper(rate,pmt,-pv,fv)
FV is the future real GDP which $28,900*2=$57,800 for France while that of Korea is $25,400 ($12,700*2)
PV is the present real GDP
rate is the economic growth rate of 4.2% in Korea and 1.9% in France
France=nper(1.9%,0,-28900,57800)= 36.83
Korea=nper(4.2%,0,-12700,25400)= 16.85
In 2045 ,which is 42 years from now the real GDP are shown thus:
=fv(rate,nper,pmt,-pv)=fv(1.9%,42,0,-28900)=$63,710.88
=fv(rate,nper,pmt,-pv)=fv(4.2%,42,0,-12700)=$ 71,490.43
Fast-food restaurants like McDonald's are replacing cashiers with touch-screen ordering kiosks. Currently the MPL for an additional cashier is 48 customers served per hour and the MPK for an additional kiosk is 32 customers served per hour. A cashier can be hired for wage of $15; a kiosk rents for $12.
(a) Is Whataburger using the optimal cost-minimizing mix of cashiers and kiosks? Explain.
(b) What can Whataburger do to improve its mix of inputs – hire more cashiers or fewer? Rent more kiosks or fewer?
Answer:
a. Whataburger is not using the optimal cost-minimizaing mix of cashier and kiosks.
b. Whataburger should hire more cashier and rent fewer kiosks in order to improve its mix of inputs and minimize the cost
Explanation:
a. According to the given data we have the following:
Let "C" is a cashier.
"K" is a kiosk
MPC = 48 (Marginal Product of Cashier)
MPK = 32 (Marginal Product of Kiosk)
PC = $15 (cashier can be hired for a wage of $15)
PK = $12 (Kiosk rents for $12)
At optimal cost minimization point, (MPC / MPK) = (PC / PK)
(MPC / PC) = (MPK / PK)
(MPC / PC) = (48 / 15) = 3.2
(MPK / PK) = (32 / 12) = 2.67
Since the (MPC / PC) and (MPK / PK) is not equal. It implies Whataburger is not using the optimal cost-minimizaing mix of cashier and kiosks.
b. We have to use the following:
(MPC / PC) > (MPK / PK)
i.e., 3.2 > 2.67
It means Whataburger hire more cashier and rent fewer kiosks in order to improve its mix of inputs and minimize the cost.
Melody and Todd are married and have employee wages of $250,000 each in 2019. They have no other income. How much additional 0.9% Medicare tax will Melody and Todd have to pay or receive as a refund when they file their 2019 income tax return?
Answer:
$1,350
Explanation:
The computation of the amount pay or received as a refund at the time of filing the income tax return for the year 2019 is shown below:
As we know that
The Medicare tax rate is 1.45% till $200,000
And, if it is above $200,000 than 2.35% is charged (1.45% + 0.9%)
Now
For individually calculated,
Melody = ($200,000 × 1.45%) + ($50,000 × 2.35%) = $4,075
Todd = ($200,000 × 1.45%) + ($50,000 × 2.35%) = $4,075
So, the total is
= $4,075 + $4,075
= $8,150
Now if they filling their joint return so
Total salary is $500,000 ($250,000 × 2)
Medicare upto $250,000 = $3,625 ($250,000 × 1.45%)
for remaining $250,000 = $5,875 ($250,000 × 2.35%)
So, the Total is
= $3,625 + $5,875
= $9,500
Now the refund is
= Joint return - individually return for each one
= $9,500 - $8,150
= $1,350

Gelb Company currently manufactures 53,500 units per year of a key component for its manufacturing process. Variable costs are $2.95 per unit, fixed costs related to making this component are $67,000 per year, and allocated fixed costs are $64,500 per year. The allocated fixed costs are unavoidable whether the company makes or buys this component. The company is considering buying this component from a supplier for $3.50 per unit. Calculate the total incremental cost of making 53,500 units and buying 53,500 units. Should it continue to manufacture the component, or should it buy this component from the outside supplier
Answer and Explanation:
The computation of the total incremental cost is shown below;
For making 53,500 units
Particulars Relevant Relevant Total
Per Unit Fixed Costs Relevant Costs
Variable Cost
Per Unit $2.95 $157,825
(53,500 units × $2.95)
Fixed

Costs $67,000 $67,000
Total Incremental Costs to Make $224,825
For making 53,500 units
Particulars Relevant Relevant Total
Per Unit Fixed Costs Relevant Costs
Purchase
Price
Per Unit $3.50 $187,250
(53,500 units × $3.50)
Total Incremental Cost to Buy $187,250
The company should buy the component from the outside supplier as it saves the cost for ($224,825 - $187,250) = $37,575 plus the buying cost is less than the making cost
You are an owner of a bakery, and you meet with other neighborhood bakery owners. In an attempt to increase sales, you collectively decide to lower prices by 10%. Which of the following are consequences of this price change?
A. The supply of fresh baked goods will decrease.
B. The quantity supplied of fresh baked goods will decrease.
C. Demand for processed baked goods will decrease.
D. The supply of fresh baked goods will increase.
E. The demand for fresh baked goods will not change.
F. The demand for fresh baked goods will increase.
Answer:
The quantity supplied of fresh baked goods will decrease ( B )
Demand for processed baked goods will decrease. ( C )
The demand for fresh baked goods will not change ( E )
Explanation:
When the neighbourhood bakery owners agree to lower prices of goods by 10% it will not have any effect on the demand for fresh baked goods hence the demand for fresh baked goods will not change because the demand for fresh baked goods have an in-elastic curve
Also since there is s drop in price the quantity supplied by the suppliers will decrease. while The demand for processed baked goods will decrease because of the substitute it has in fresh baked goods that just got its price slashed by 10%

Disability benefit is excluded as the policy was purchased by taxpayer. Income from son is also not included, as income is taxed to taxpayer who earned the incomeAccount A pays simple interest.
Future ValueA = Principal + Interest
= Principal + [(Principal x Interest Rate) x Investment Period]
= $2,000 + [($2,000 x 996) x 3 years]
Future Value of Account X Note: Account X pays compound interest.
Future Valuex = Present Value x Interest Rate Factor
= Present Valuex(1 +Interest Rate)n years
= $2,000 x (1 + 0.09)3
To find the interest rate factor, you can use three different ways, including multiplying it out:
Interest Factor(1 0.09) x (1 0.09) x (1 0.09)1.2950
Or using exponents and calculating it directly:
Interest Factor(10.09)31.2950
Or looking up the value in the Future Value Interest Factor Table:

1)
Future value paying simple interest = Principal + [( principal * interest) * investment period]
Future value paying simple interest = $2,000 + [ ( $2,000 * 9%) * 3]
Future value paying simple interest = $2,000 + 540
Future value paying simple interest = $2,540
2)
Future value paying compound interest = Present value * ( 1 + interest)n
Future value paying compound interest = $2,000 * ( 1 + 0.09)3
Future value paying compound interest = $2,000 * 1.295029
Future value paying compound interest = $2,590.058
3)
Difference = $2,590.058 - 2,540
Difference = $50.058
Sheridan Company uses the periodic inventory system. For the current month, the beginning inventory consisted of 485 units that cost $66 each. During the month, the company made two purchases: 725 units at $69 each and 364 units at $71 each. Sheridan Company also sold 1198 units during the month. Using the average cost method, what is the amount of ending inventory? (Round average cost per unit to 2 decimal places, e.g. 21.48.)
Answer:
Value of closing inventory = $25771.04
Explanation:
To calculate the value of ending inventory under a periodic average cost method, we will calculate the average price per unit of inventory at the end of the month. To calculate the average price per unit, we simply divide the total cost of the inventory by the total number of units for the month.
Average cost per unit = Total cost of all units for the month / Total units available for the month
Total cost of all units:
Beginning inventory (485 * 66) 32010
Purchase 1 (725 * 69) 50025
Purchase 2 (364 * 71) 25844
Total 107879
Total Units
Beginning Inventory 485
Purchase 1 725
Purchase 2 364
Total 1574
Average cost per unit = 107879 / 1574
Average cost per unit = $68.54
Units of closing inventory = 1574 - 1198 = 376 units
Value of closing inventory = 376 * 68.54
Value of closing inventory = $25771.04
