  1. Types of inventory:
    1. Raw materials
      1. These are the materials that have been bought by a manufacturing business and are ready to be transferred to the production area where they will be used to make the finished goods.
      2. Work in progress
        1. This comprises part-finished products that are awaiting completion.
        2. Finished goods
          1. These are manufactured items that have been completed and are ready for sale.
        3. Valuation methods:
          1. FIFO
            1. First in first out
              1. Inventory that is being issued is valued at the oldest purchase price. This means that the inventory left in the stores is valued at the most recent purchase price.
            2. LIFO
              1. Last in first out
                1. Inventory that is being issued is valued at the most recent purchase price. This means that the inventory left in the stores is valued at the oldest purchase price.
              2. AVCO
                1. Average cost
                  1. Inventory that is being issued is valued at an average price. This means that the inventory left in the stores is valued at the most recent purchase price.
                    1. Average cost = Total cost of goods in stores / number of items in stores
              3. Manufacturing account
                1. Manufacturing account format:

                      1. Closing inventory of raw materials.
