In Fifo method stock and price of material is used as per first in first out basis while in average cost method all materials cost is merged and calculated the average price of units of material and that price is used. In average method there is no difference between what material was already in stock and what have come in stock later.

Does net income using weighted average fall between that using FIFO and LIFO?

Yes, net income using the weighted average method typically falls between that calculated using FIFO (First-In, First-Out) and LIFO (Last-In, First-Out) methods. This is because FIFO usually results in higher net income during periods of rising prices, as older, cheaper costs are matched against current revenues, while LIFO results in lower net income as newer, higher costs are used. The weighted average method smooths out price fluctuations, leading to a net income that is generally in between the two extremes.
