Explanation / Answer

?

1) Solution: $167,055

Explanation:

[(7,200 * $12) + (3,000 * $13) + (12,000 * $13.50] / (7,200 + 3,000 + 12,000)

=$12.95

Now, $12.95 * 12,900 = $167,055

?

2) Solution: $46,067

Working:

($87,930 + $61,800 + $86,751) / (9,000 + 6,000 + 8,100) = $10.237/unit

$10.237 * 4,500 = $46.067

?

3) Solution: $2,240,000

Working: 2,100,000 + 420,000 - 280,000 = 2,240,000
