Method of Inventory
Inventory refers to the current assets that a company expects to sell during the normal course of business operations, the goods that are under process to be completed for future sale, or currently used for producing goods to be sold in the market. Inventory is valued under three methods:
FIFO
Under this inventory method, the units that are purchased first, are sold first. Thus, it starts from the selling of the beginning inventory, followed by the units purchased in a chronological order of their purchases took place during a particular period.
LIFO
Under this inventory method, the units that are purchased last, are sold first. Thus, it starts from the selling of the units recently purchased and ending with the beginning inventory.
Average cost method
Under this method, the cost of the goods available for sale is divided by the number of units available for sale during a particular period.
