Inventory valuation – periodic AVCO
With this inventory valuation method, we work out an average cost
per unit based upon the cost of opening inventory plus the cost of
all purchases made during the accounting period as follows:
Average cost per unit: ((5 × $3.50) + (5 × $4.00) + (5 × $5.00) +
(5 × $5.50))/20 units = $4.50 per unit
Closing inventory cost = 13 units × $4.50 =
$58.50
Cost of sales = 7 units × $4.50 = $31.50

Inventory valuation – continuous AVCO
With this inventory valuation method we work out an updated
average cost per unit each time a purchase of inventory is made.
Any subsequent sales are accounted for at that average cost per
unit until the next purchase is made and a new average cost per
unit is calculated.
