Using the weighted average cost method, our closing inventory amounts to $1,059. This equates to a cost of $1.06 per lollypop ($1,059/1,000 lollypops). Oddly enough, the LIFO method is the preferred inventory valuation method in the United States but is disallowed in non-US countries.The FIFO method and the weighted average cost method are used in non-US countries.In recent years there have been calls for the standardization of accounting rules throughout the world, and talk specifically about disallowing LIFO in the US (or making the rest of the world follow the LIFO system)..
