Spanish term

Ahorros costo promedio ponderado

Spanish to English Bus/Financial Insurance
Hi there,
Could someone please clarify or provide me with a translation for the spanish term:
"Ahorros (costo promedio ponderado)"
It's in the field of insurance and finance, it is at the heading of a graph.
Would: "average weighted cost" make sense?

Thank you!

See:

Weighted Average Cost

Weighted Average Cost is a method of calculating Ending Inventory cost.

It takes Cost of Goods Available for Sale and divides it by the total amount of goods from Beginning Inventory and Purchases. This gives a Weighted Average Cost per Unit. A physical count is then performed on the ending inventory to determine the amount of goods left. Finally, this amount is multiplied by Weighted Average Cost per Unit to give an estimate of ending inventory cost.
