The cost of good sold for 8,6000 units will be $111,335.60.

Explanation:

Please find the below for detailed explanations and calculations:

As Morton uses average cost method, the unit cost will be the same for each unit and equal to (total inventory purchase cost + cost for beginning inventory)/ ( beginning inventory + inventory purchased)

As a result, we have Unit cost = (2,000 x 13 + 8,000 x 13.50 +4,800 x 12) / (2,000+8,000+4,800) = $12.946 per unit

Thus, Cost of good sold of 8,600 units is 12,946 x 8,600 = $111,335.60.
