TYPE THE FOLLOWING PARAGRAPH:
In a stable market where prices remain unchanged, the method of inventory pricing is of li.ttle importance. This is true because when prices are unchanged over a long period of time, al.l methods give the same cost figures. However, in a changing market where prices are rising and falljng, each method may give a different result. This may be seen by a comparison of the cost of goods sold for an article under each of the methods. Since the method used may affect the amounts of the reported ending jnventory and cost of goods sold, a company should show on its statements by means of footnotes or other manner the pricing method used. Also, accountants are of the opinion that a company should select for use the method that best reflects jts periodic net income.
