Average cost method

Average cost method is an inventory valuation method in accounting that assigns a cost to inventory based on the average cost of goods available for sale during a period. Instead of tracking individual purchase prices, the method applies an average unit cost to both cost of goods sold (COGS) and ending inventory.
