When calculating cost of goods sold using the weighted average method, we can apply one of the following two methods:
+ Weighted average method for the entire reserve period:
Unit price Value of products and goods in stock at the beginning of the period + Value of products and goods imported during the period
=
Quantity of products and goods in stock at the beginning of the period + Quantity of products and goods imported during the period
This method is quite simple and easy to do, only need to calculate once at the end of the period. However, this method has a major disadvantage that the accounting work is concentrated at the end of the period, affecting the progress of other parts. Moreover, this method does not meet the timely requirements of accounting information at the time of the transaction.
+ Weighted average method after each entry:
Unit price Actual value of products and goods in stock after each import
=
Actual quantity of products and goods in stock after each import
The value of goods exported by this method has the advantage of overcoming the limitations of the above method, but the calculation is complicated, repeated many times, and takes a lot of effort. Due to the above characteristics, this method is applied in businesses with few types of inventory and low import and export volume.
- First in, first out (FIFO) method
This method is applied based on the assumption that the goods purchased or produced first are sold first, and the remaining goods at the end of the period are the goods purchased or produced at the end of the period. According to this method, the value of goods issued is calculated based on the price of the goods received at the beginning of the period or near the beginning of the period.
At the beginning of the period, the value of inventory is calculated based on the price of goods purchased at the end of the period or near the end of the period that are still in stock.
- Last in, first out (LIFO) method:
This method assumes that the goods purchased or produced later are sold first and that the remaining inventory at the end of the period is the goods purchased or produced earlier. According to this method, the value of the goods sold is calculated based on the price of the goods imported last or almost last, and the value of the inventory is calculated based on the price of the goods imported at the beginning of the period or almost the beginning of the period.
Thus, with this method, the cost of the most recent purchase will be relatively close to the cost of the replacement goods. The implementation of this method will ensure the requirements of the matching principle in accounting. However, the cost of the ending inventory may not be close to the market price of the replacement goods.
- Specific practical method:
According to this method, the product or goods exported from the warehouse belong to which batch, the unit price of the imported goods is used to calculate. This is the best solution, it complies with the matching principle of accounting, the actual cost is consistent with the actual revenue. The value of the goods exported from the warehouse for sale is consistent with the revenue it generates. Moreover, the value of the inventory is reflected correctly according to its actual price.
This method is suitable for high-value goods associated with their own characteristics.
