Assume a sale of 480 units occurred on June 15 for a selling price of \[tex]$9 and a sale of 400 units on June 27 for \$[/tex]9.

(a) Calculate the cost of goods available for sale.
The cost of goods available for sale is \$[tex]\(\square\)[/tex].



Answer :

To calculate the cost of goods available for sale, we sum the costs associated with the beginning inventory and all purchases made during the period. Let's break it down step-by-step.

1. Initial Inventory
- Units: 150
- Unit Cost: [tex]$6 - Total Cost: \(150 \times 6 = \$[/tex] 900\)

2. First Purchase on June 12
- Units: 450
- Unit Cost: [tex]$7 - Total Cost: \(450 \times 7 = \$[/tex] 3150\)

3. Second Purchase on June 23
- Units: 380
- Unit Cost: [tex]$8 - Total Cost: \(380 \times 8 = \$[/tex] 3040\)

Next, we add up all these costs to find the total cost of goods available for sale:

[tex]\[ \text{Total Cost of Goods Available for Sale} = \$ 900 + \$ 3150 + \$ 3040 = \$ 7090 \][/tex]

So, the cost of goods available for sale is \$7090.
