Answer:

average unit cost = $8.875

the cost of the ending inventory = $2,485

Explanation:

average unit cost = Total cost ÷ units available for sale

                             = $12,780  ÷ 1,440

                             = $8.875

the cost of the ending inventory = unit cost x ending units

                                                      = $8.875 x 280

                                                      = $2,485
