D.            Cost of goods sold is $49,200 and ending inventory is $34,400

Explanation / Answer

Hi,


Please find the detailed answer as follows:


Total Units Available = 10000

Less Total Units Sold = 6000


Units Unsold = 4000


Cost of Goods Sold (Calculated for Units Available) = 2000*8 (From First Lot) + 3000*8.2 (From Second Lot) + 1000*8.6 (From Third Lot) = 49200


Ending Inventory = 4000*8.6 (From Third Lot) = 34400


Option D (Cost of goods sold is $49,200 and ending inventory is $34,400) is the correct answer.


Thanks.
