If someone who had never watched Game of Thrones â or read the original written series A Song of Ice and Fire â asked who the main character was, what would you say? Though many point to Jon Snow, Tyrion Lannister, and Daenerys Targaryen as the main protagonists, narrowing it down to just one is tough. Thanks to the beauty of statistical analysis and network science, we finally have an answer: Tyrion Lannister.
As you can see, the average cost moved from $87.50 to $88.125âthis is why the perpetual average method is sometimes referred to as the moving average method. The Inventory balance is $352.50 (4 books with an average cost of $88.125 each).
The main difference between weighted average cost accounting, LIFO, and FIFO methods of accounting is the difference in which each method calculates inventory and cost of goods sold. The weighted average cost method uses the average of the costs of the goods to assign costs. In other words, weighted average uses the formula: Total cost of items in inventory available for sale divided by total number of units available for sale. In contrast, FIFO (first in, first out) accounting means that the costs assigned to goods are the costs for the first goods bought.
