Answer:

$1,994

Explanation:

The computation of the ending inventory is shown below:

But before that the average cost is

= Total amount of purchased ÷ total units available

= (8  units × $49 +  15 units × $51 + 27 units × $53 + 14 units × $55) ÷ (8 units + 15 units + 27 units + 14 units)

= ($392 + $765 + $1,431 + $770) ÷ (64 units)

= $52.469

Now the ending inventory units is

= 64 units - 26 units

= 38 units

So, the ending inventory is

= 38 units × $52.469

= $1,994
