Weighted average inventory valuation method is method in which inventory purchased at any price is put together to calculate one price for allocation in contrast to FIFO or LIFO.
A method of inventory accounting in which the oldest remaining items are assumed to have been the first sold. In a period of rising prices, this method yields a higher ending inventory, a lower cost of goods sold, a higher gross profit (assuming constant price), and a higher taxable income. Also called FIFO.Method in calculation in which the weighted averagezzor the period is the cost of the goods available for sale divided by the number of units available for sale. When the perpetual inventory system is used, the weighted average method is called the moving average method.
This could be a poorly written question in that the grammar seems errant and the term wording of the given systems appears faulty. It is possible that the author of the question typoed and placed "perpetual" in front of "periodic" and didn't intend to do so. The question could be answered simply with, they are two separate systems, and any "pass" would function differently in separate systems. Or, the first system is a set system over a given time and the other is a "flow" system also over a given time. Further demonstration might be needed. Firstly, separate the "weighted" and "moving" terminology: the first is addition and the next is either subtraction OR addition but not as stationary as weighted; that is "weighted" is to be thought of as in-coming exclusively. Periodic Inventory System (PIS) differs from Perpetual Inventory System (PeIS), where PIS is an individual listing of given inventory (separate queues) without impact to other queues and PeIS is all the given queues as a whole at once.

Majority of the companies are following weighted average method to value inventories. In India, the Income Tax authorities only allow FIFO & Weighted Average Method.
no, FIFO, LIFO, and weighted-average method are cost flow assumptions these assumptions bear no relation to the physical flow of goods; they are merely used to assign costs to inventory units.
