These units were purchased near the end of 2012 for $20 each. During the month of January, 180 units were purchased on January 8 for $23 each and another 360 units were purchased on January 19 for $25 each. Sales of 170 units and 270 units were made on January 10 and January 25, respectively. There were 460 units on hand at the end of the month.

Part 2 --- Perpetual Average Cost Method

Under perpetual system, inventory is updated after each transaction whether sale or purchase of units.

Average Cost Method

Under average cost method, the average cost per unit is calculated and the calculated average cost is applied to the units sold in order to find out cost of goods sold.

Average Unit Cost = Total Cost of material available for sale / total quantity of material available for sale

Cost of Goods Sold = Sold Units x Average Unit Cost

Since company is using perpetual system, the average cost is calculated each time after the incurring of transaction whether purchase or sale.
