Hey ...Thank you for this video ...i want to know if there is maybe 2 sales during the reporting period ...do we still use this method of only getting the average cost per unit?

[emilyvanbreda]

Will rounding the numbers to whole or 2 decimal places matter when filling out inventory stock cards?

[crooks]

Is there anyway you could help me out with an accounting problem?? Love the videos but struggling a bit currently with process costing.

What about the 5 purchases of that inventory item that were in the previous year?? How do they figure into the Weighted Average inventory cost calculation? In other words, do you limit inventory purchases in the calculation to those layers represented in the current inventory balance? These questions arise when you actually try to build a model to calculated weighted average inventory value.

[Subachacko]

Thank you! What do we do with the end inventory when we start a new year? Can we take that average cost and work it into the new years average buy cost? Meaning let's say I have 100 units at 1.50 each, and my costs go up, or fluctuate. If I buy 300 more units, can I average out the cost of 400 in the new year?

[balochisongs]

Sir total inventory ending inventory involves or not ??

[angieclark]

What about when you have a beginning balance from the the previous year?

FIFO and LIFO seem too complicated for where I’m at and so the simplicity of WAC (weighted average cost) is very appealing. However, the inconsistent use of terminology in various articles / videos I’ve come across discussing WAC has me confused. Is a WAC calculation done for (A) each product in inventory or is it calculated using the (B) total cost of all products in inventory?

For example, let’s say I have 500 different products in my inventory. Some products have an average cost of $1 per unit, and other products can average $20, 000 per unit. If I were to calculate WAC using (B) the total cost of all products in inventory, then the average cost of a unit in inventory would be around $2, 000. Now let’s say I go to sell my cheapest product for $2, my COGS for that sale would be $2, 000???

This doesn’t seem right. Which one is correct?

The loud typing is a little distracting, but I appreciate the lesson.

35×19.39 equals 697.55 (698 rounded up). I think You gotta remake the video there's an error 😂
