Continue to be charged until a new batch is received.<\/p>\n<h4>Advantages of LIFO<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>It makes use of the actual cost for pricing purposes.<\/li>\n<li>Product cost is based on current prices which are being realistic.<\/li>\n<li>No profit or losses.<\/li>\n<li>It provides a hedge against inflation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Disadvantages of LIFO<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>It results in batches being only partly charged to production.<\/li>\n<li>Stock is valued at the oldest prices.<\/li>\n<li>It involves considerable clerical work.<\/li>\n<li>More than one price may have to be adopted for an issue.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>The Weighted Average Method<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The weighted average is one of the methods of stock valuation whereby the issue price is recalculated after each receipt taking into consideration both quantities and monetary value of the units that remain as balanced as the time of receiving the material.<\/p>\n<h4>Advantages of the Weighted Average Method<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>It makes the cost comparison between processes and jobs easier.<\/li>\n<li>No unrealized profit of losses occurs.<\/li>\n<li>It is favored by the Inland Revenue Department for tax purposes.<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0It is not as complicated as the LIFO and FIFO methods.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Disadvantages of the Weighted Average Method<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Stock valuation is slightly out of data with FIFO.<\/li>\n<li>Except care is taken it usually involves decimals.<\/li>\n<li>Issued may not be at current economic values.<\/li>\n<li>It is not an actual buying in price expected by coincidence.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Watch this Video Guide<\/h3>\n<p>This (Introductory) video will guide you on how to attempt questions on FIFO, LIFO, and the Weighted Average Methods.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wonderplugin-video\" style=\"width:600px;height:400px;position:relative;display:block;background-color:#000;overflow:hidden;max-width:100%;margin:0 auto;\" data-aspectratio=\"1.5\"><iframe class=\"wpve-iframe\" width=\"100%\" height=\"100%\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/yL9xQOOtTRs\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The following are the main pricing methods that may be used to determine the price of issues and closing stock valuation.
