## What it means for a shop owner

Stock value appears on the balance sheet and drives the cost of goods sold. When the buying price changes between deliveries you need one costing method and you stick to it, such as weighted average or first in, first out, so figures stay comparable.

## A worked example

You hold 20 pieces costing 5 and 10 pieces costing 8. Stock value = 100 + 80 = 180, and the average cost = 180 ÷ 30 = 6 per piece.
