Sec. 451.262. Weighted average
Latest version.
- A simple average of items reduced to a common basis. For example, purchases of certain raw material are made during a given month as follows:
Units Price each Total cost 150 $1.50 $225.00 175 1.40 245.00 50 1.32 66.00 65 1.30 84.50 440 $5.52 $620.50 The simple average of prices paid is $5.52 ÷ 4, or $1.38; but the weighted average would be the total cost divided by the number of units purchased: $620.50 ÷ 440, or $1.41.
