When unit of inventory is sold, the weighted average method of costing inventory takes the average cost of all inventories currently available.This average price is then assigned to the item sold. Since inventory prices fluctuate, the weighted average cost will also change. Think about it this way.hen unit of inventory is sold, the weighted average method of costing inventory takes the average cost of all inventories currently available.
