This would mean that the cost of goods sold will incorporate the linear movement of inventory and allow for averaged costs over time. Average based costing would ensure that the proportions of the paints sold would be utilise to estimate the final COGS - weighted averages have significant accuracy in such inventory models.The other items in inventory (bulbs, stickers, fuses, etc) are low-priced items and the shuffli
