Taylor owns a boutique and needed to compute her inventory of all the scarves and jackets. She had 35 scarves on the floor and five in the storeroom. She had 15 jackets on the floor and eight more in the storeroom. Sally purchased each scarf for $28 and each jacket for $95. The weighted average unit cost of scarves and jackets being sold is: a. $54.63
b. $61.50
c. $48.70
d. $52.46

d. $52.46

Explanation:

The computation of the weighted average unit cost of scarves and jackets being sold is shown below:

Taylor            Scarves            Jacket           Total           Note

Floor              35.00               15.00  

Storeroom     5.00                 8.00  

Total               40.00               23.00             63.00A

Purchase price $28.00          $95.00                            B

Purchase cost $1,120.00         $2,185.00      $3,305.00C = (A × B)

Weighted average unit cost                            $52.46(C ÷ A)

hence, the option d is correct

              (To record the cash received within

              discount period)

N:B

From above ; on May 15 ;

We determine the accounts receivable amount after sales return and allowances;

i.e

Account receivable = Sales - Sales return - Compensation Period

                                 = $12,000 -$1,200 - $ 400

                                 = $10,400

The cash discount =  Account receivable × 2 %

                               = $10,400 × 0.02

                               = $208

The cash received amount = Account receivable × 98%

                               = $10,400 × 0.98

                               = $10,192

I hope that helps alot!
