100%
An expert answered the LIFO, FIFO and moving average. However, I need condensed explaination charts and no Excel movements (the cell numbers) are confusing to me. If there is a way to have one chart for each only showing the break down, that would be perfect.
Expert Solution
Step 1 Concept
In a perpetual inventory system, the accounting for inventory is done on sale or purchase of inventory in real time.
It is more efficient than periodic inventory management.
In the FIFO method, the cost of items sold is the cost of items purchased first.
In the LIFO method, the cost of items sold is the cost of items purchased last.
In the Moving average method, the average cost of items is used for cost of items sold.
