Amsterdam Company uses a periodic inventory system


Amsterdam Company uses a periodic inventory system. For April, when the company sold 600 units, the following information is available. Compute the April 30 inventory and the April cost of goods sold using the average cost method.

                                                Units              Unit Cost                  Total Cost
April 1 Inventory                   250                 $10                             $2,500
April 15 purchases              400                 12                                4,800
April 23 Purchases              350                 13                                4,550
                                            1,000                                                  11,850          





Weighted average cost per unit $11850/1000 =             $11.85
Ending inventory 400 X $11.85 =                                       $4,740
Cost of goods available for sale                                        $11,850
Deduct ending inventory                                                    4,740

Cost of goods sold (600 X $11.85)                                    $7,110
