Question 5 – 4 marks –
a) 2 marks
Number of comic books sold = 300 + 125 + 240+ 335 – 145 = 855 comic books
300 comic books at $4.50 each $1,350.00
125 comic books for $4.85 each 606.25
240 comic books for $5 each 1,200.00
190 comic books for $5.25 each 997.50
855 comic books $4,153.75
b) Average cost: 2 marks
$1,350 + $606.25 + $1,200 + (335 x $5.25) = $4,915 = $4.915/book
300 + 125 + 240 + 335 1,000 books
COGS = $4.915 x 855 books = $4,202.325
