valuation method<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><strong>Average Cost Method<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In general, stocks are valued according to the method of the average price or weighted cost: each time there is an entry in the warehouse, the cost of the goods is recalculated and the average cost is fixed, which is the amount that is cancelled when there are exits.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>FIFO stock assessment<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>However, if the company considers it more convenient for its management, it can opt for the <strong>FIFO method<\/strong> (&#8220;First In, First Out&#8221;), (in Spanish means first in, first out) by virtue of which<strong> the goods retain their original acquisition value<\/strong> and, when an exit occurs, it is considered that the first to enter the warehouse leave (so stocks at the end of the year are valued according to the cost of the most recent acquisitions).<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Application of inventory valuation<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>These rules are applicable to interchangeable products, which cannot be identified individually (shoes of the same brand and model, bricks, steel coils&#8230;).<\/p>\n<p>Non-exchangeable products, that is, products that can be individually identified (property, vehicles of a dealer, furniture of an antique shop, etc.), must be valued according to their acquisition price or individual production
