Answer:

$24,445.67

Explanation:

The average cost method calculates an average costs out of the units available for sale. The average cost is then used to value cost of sales and the inventory value.

Unit Cost = Total Cost ÷ Units available for sale

therefore,

Unit Cost = (483 x $63 + 723 x $66 + 362  x $68) ÷ 1,568

                = $65.538

Now,

Ending Inventory = Units in stock x Unit Cost

                             = (1,568 - 1,195) x $65.538

                             = $24,445.67

Using the average cost method, the amount of ending inventory is  $24,445.67.
