On December 15, the company sold 520 units. Given this information, use the weighted average periodic inventory method to find the ending inventory balance. (Do not round your intermediate calculations; round the final answer to nearest dollar amount.)

A company made the following purchases during the year: On December 31, there were 28 units in ending inventory. These 28 units consisted of 1 from the January 10 purchase, 2 from the March 15 purchase, 5 from the April 25 purchase, 15 from the July 30 purchase, and 5 from the October 10 purchase. Using specific identification, calculate the cost of the ending inventory.

The lower of cost or market rule for inventory valuation must be applied to only individual items of inventory, not to major categories of inventory or to the entire inventory.
