I'd suggest you first look at the balance sheet report from HEAD (it's
not the same as the report in 1.8). It may or may not actually get
this right. Second, the balance sheet probably never use a weighted
average for anything -- it's certainly not correct for determining the
amount of capital put into the commodity, and it wont help you
determine the current value of the commodity, either.
