Expert Solution
Step 1

A periodic inventory system is a form of inventory valuation where the inventory account is updated at the end of an accounting period rather than after every sale and purchase. The method allows a business to track its beginning inventory and ending inventory within an accounting period.

The, weighted average price method which is mainly utilized to assign the average cost of production to a given product, is most commonly employed when inventory items are so intertwined that it becomes difficult to assign a specific cost to an individual unit. This is frequently the case when the inventory items in question are identical to one another. Furthermore, this method assumes a store sells all of its inventories simultaneously.
