## What it means for a shop owner

It keeps the maths simple when buying prices keep changing, and it updates with each new delivery. It is one way to value stock, next to first in, first out. Choose one method and stay with it.

## A worked example

100 pieces at a cost of 5 and 50 pieces at 8. The total is 900 over 150 pieces, so the average cost is 6.
