Assume that Jump Coffee Shop completed the following periodicinventory transactions for a line of merchandise inventory:

Jun. 1 Beginning merchandise inventory 17 units @ \( 15 each

12 Purchase 5 units @ \) 19 each

20 Sale 14 units @ \( 37 each

24 Purchase 11 units @ \) 23 each

29 Sale 13 units @ $ 37 each

Requirements

3. Compute ending merchandise inventory, cost of goods sold, and gross profit using the weighted-average inventory costing method. (Round weighted-average cost per unit to the nearest cent and all other amounts to the nearest dollar.)

Step by step solution

Step-by-Step-SolutionStep 1: Computation of ending merchandise using LIFO

Using LIFO, the ending inventory would be valued at historical prices.
