Beginning Inventory equation
Beginning Inventory+ Purchases- Ending Inventory = COGS
COGS
GP=Net sales-COGS
lower of cost of market
LCM - take the lower of two number listed when adding them all up
Gross Margin/ Gross Profit =
Net sales (units sold times the cost) - COGS
Inventory Turnover Ratio
cost of goods sold/average inventory
Inventory costing methods place primary reliance on assumptions about the flow of -values. -margins. -costs. -goods. -resale prices.
