Weighted average Inventory Valuation

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

Please suggest me the appropriate inventory valuation model to achieve my objective.

for example if i purchase 10 qty @ 15 per unit and sell 6 qty out of that and then purchase another 16 qty @ 10 per unit, I am expecting an inventory value as below

inventory remaining out of first lot 4 qty *15 = 60

inventory of second lot 16 qty * 10 = 160

Total  value = 220

Inventory value per unit as on date , 220/20 =  11 per unit.

If i am using weighted average cost, i am sure that my inventory value per unit at this moment will be (10*15)+(16*10) = 310 divide by total qty (10+16), ie , 310/26 = 11.92.

i want inventory value of 11 per unit. which inventory valuation type will help me to achieve this?

Thanks in advance

    Looks like you need FIFO, refer technet.microsoft.com/.../Gg231585.aspx

    Hi Jomy,

    After running inventory close, Weighted average will value your inventory, as you say, at 11.92. However, FIFO and 'Weighted average date' will both value it at 11.00. Moving average (which does not use inventory close) will also value your the inventory in your example as 11.00.

    So, in your example, Weighted average is the only actual costing method that doesn't give you the answer you want (except, of course, LIFO - but I've never heard of anyone using that!)
