Introduction:
The first in, first out (FIFO) method of inventory valuation is a cost stream supposition that the first products obtained are likewise the first merchandise sold. In many organizations, this presumption intently coordinates the genuine stream of merchandise, as is viewed as the most hypothetically right inventory valuation method.
The average cost method is an inventory costing method in which the cost of every thing in an inventory is determined on the basis of the average cost of every comparative great in the inventory. The average cost method is determined by partitioning the cost of products in inventory by the absolute number of things accessible available to be purchased.
To compute:
