- 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.

- This comprises part-finished products that are
awaiting completion.
- Finished goods
- These are manufactured items that have
been completed and are ready for sale.

- First in first out
- 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.
- LIFO

- 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.
- AVCO
