weighted-average cost flow assumption

Used in the periodic inventory method to compute the value of inventory and the cost of goods sold. This average cost is based on the total cost of goods available for sale for the entire year (after all purchases for the year have occurred). The average cost per unit is then applied to the units in inventory and to the units that have been sold.
