Determine the amount of gross margin assuming the weighted average cost flow method. A) $3,015
B) $2,412
C) $1,314
D) $2,970
Answer
Step-by-Step explanation
Weighted Average cost per unit = Cost of Goods Available for sale/Unit Available for sale
Weighted Average cost per unit = (100*4+300*4.4+500*4.6+100*4.8)/(100+300+500+100)
Weighted Average cost per unit = 4.5
Gross Margin = Sale-Cost of good sold
Gross Margin = 900*7.8 - 900*4.5
Gross Margin = 2970
