Wasan values inventory on the periodic weighted average basis.
What is the value of Wasan's inventory at 31 January 20X3 (to the nearest $1)?
Suggested Solution.
No of units available for sales
= 800 + 500 +600
=1900
No of units sold during the month
=400 +600 +400
=1400
No of units at the end of the month
= 1900 -1400
=500 Units
