If an entity uses the continuous weighted average cost method to value closing inventory,
Which of the following statements is true?
A Unit average cost is recalculated each time there is a purchase of inventory
B Unit average cost is calculated once only at the end of an accounting period
C Unit average cost is recalculated each time there is a sale of goods
D Unit average cost is recalculated each time there is a purchase or a sale
kit says the answer is A.
But I think the answer is C. We calculate cost per unit in continuous weighted average, each time there is a sale of goods
please correct me sir, if I'm wrong
Ask the Tutor ACCA FA
Inventory valuation
The answer is indeed A.
The cost is recalculated every time there is a new purchase. It is only when there is new purchase that the cost is going to be different.
