Quick Summary
This discussion explores the use of FIFO and Average Price methods for managing material records at construction sites and in accounting. While both methods establish cost per unit, the question arises whether they can be used concurrently for closing stock valuation, with the total closing stock amount remaining the same. The conversation touches upon accounting standards, particularly AS 2, and the applicability of actual cost basis for non-fungible goods and self-constructed assets, stressing the importance of disclosing chosen accounting policies.

Yes only through FIFO and AVCO, the cost is established. I recently read some acca books and i found out cost per unit or something can also be used. I'll get back once i remember the third method.

But i doubt both will be the same. 

Alright the third method is actual cost basis of they are non fungible goods only. But if your doing contracts, you have to use that standard as 2 is not applicable for wip. If it's self constructed asset, and as 2 is not applicable work in progress not unless you have an intention to sell.

But whatever policies are being set it must be disclosed in accounting standard and basis of accounting policies. Accounting standard 2 is best suited.

If they want less marks in the exam, they can. If they go through the scope it is clearly visible.
