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
= 100 + 300 +600
=1000
No of units sold during the month
=50 +300 +600
=950
No of units at the end of the month
= 1000 -950
=50 Units
