Q: A company uses the moving-weighted-average cost method. If it purchases 100 units at $5 each and then 200 units at $6 each, what is the weighted average cost per unit?

$\frac{(100 \times 5) + (200 \times 6)}{100 + 200} = \frac{500 + 1200}{300} = \frac{1700}{300} = 5.67$

Q: A company uses FIFO inventory method. If the first purchase was 100 units at $4 each and the second purchase was 200 units at $5 each, and 150 units are sold, what is the cost of goods sold?
