When the average cost method is used in a perpetual invetory
system, an average unit cost for each item is computed each time

Expert Solution
Step 1

Solution a:

Total units available after Oct 22 purchase = 350-160 +310 = 500 units

Weighted average unit cost after the Oct 22 purchase = [(350-160)*10 + 310*13] / 500

= 5930/ 500

= $11.86
