Four generally accepted inventory costing methods
|
Specific Identification
First-in, First-out Last-in, First-out Weighted Average |
|
The four inventory costing methods are alternative ways to
|
assign the total dollar amount of goods available for sale between ending inventory and cost of goods sold
|
|
When units are sold, the specific cost is added to COGS; commonly used in businesses that have low sales volume of high dollar items (car dealerships, jewelry stores)
|
Specific Identification Method
|
|
The choice of an inventory costing method is not based on
|
physical flow of goods on and off the shelves; that is why they are called cost flow assumptions
