Ending inventory and COGS

Ending inventory in the perpetual system under the weighted average method is the value of ending inventory at the average cost and the COGS would also be based on the average prices.

In the given case, the ending inventory on 30^th Nov amounts to $136 and the COGS for the period amounts to $3,236.
