Answer

  • D) $ 2970

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
