Inventory Valuation
Formul provides a real-time Inventory Valuation report. This answers the question: “How much money do I have tied up in inventory right now?”
Weighted Average Cost (WAC)
Section titled “Weighted Average Cost (WAC)”Formul uses Weighted Average Cost to value your inventory.
- How it works: When you receive new stock at a different price, Formul updates the average cost of all units on hand.
- Formula:
((Current Qty * Current Cost) + (New Qty * New Cost)) / Total Qty
Example
Section titled “Example”- You have 10 units @ $10.00. (Value: $100)
- You buy 10 more @ $12.00. (Value: $120)
- New WAC: $11.00 per unit. (Total Value: $220 for 20 units).
