If someone who had never watched Game of Thrones â or read the original written series A Song of Ice and Fire â asked who the main character was, what would you say? Though many point to Jon Snow, Tyrion Lannister, and Daenerys Targaryen as the main protagonists, narrowing it down to just one is tough. Thanks to the beauty of statistical analysis and network science, we finally have an answer: Tyrion Lannister.
As you can see, the average cost moved from $87.50 to $88.125âthis is why the perpetual average method is sometimes referred to as the moving average method. The Inventory balance is $352.50 (4 books with an average cost of $88.125 each).
1 LIFO (last-in, first-out) is the opposite assumption: The newest units of inventory are sold before older units are sold. 2  The average cost method is a formula for calculating CoGS and ending inventory based upon the average cost per unit of inventory available for sale over a given period. The periodic method of inventory involves doing an inventory count at the end of each period, then mathematically calculating Cost of Goods Sold. 2  FIFO (first-in, first-out) is the assumption that the oldest units of inventory are sold before the newer units.
