Average cost

    Average cost refers to the average of the purchase costs of the purchased commodities.
    The following are three actions that can change the average cost of goods: purchases, returns to suppliers, and depreciation of goods.
    Purchasing is the most frequently occurring behavior that changes average cost.

    Purchasing is one of the behaviors that changes the average cost of goods.
    The original average cost calculation:
    New Average Cost = (Procurement Cost of First Purchase x Quantity of First Purchase + Procurement Cost of Second Purchase x Quantity of Second Purchase + ...... + Procurement Cost of This Purchase x Quantity of This Purchase) / (Quantity of First Purchase + Quantity of Second Purchase + ...... + Quantity of This Purchase)

    As this method of calculation will account for each purchase in the past, but with the development of time, there may be a great change in prices, the previous procurement cost and the present compared with a considerable difference, is no longer suitable for calculation to the average cost of the situation.
    For this situation, Posify has optimized the calculation of average cost.

    Optimized average cost calculation:
    New Average Cost = (Current Average Cost x Current Inventory + Current Purchase Cost x Current Purchase Quantity) / (Current Inventory + Current Purchase Quantity)
    Purchasing changes the average cost of an item.

    The following is an example of a purchase that results in a change in average cost:
    Create a PO (Purchase Order) for 100 pieces of item A, with a purchase cost of 90, to be warehoused to W01.


    Check the change in inventory for W01, Commodity A purchased 100 units at an average cost of 50 and an inventory balance of 5000.


    On the same day, create a PO to purchase 100 pieces of item A with a purchase price of 70, and warehouse it to W01.


    Check the inventory movement for W01, Commodity A purchased 200 units.
    Average cost: (100x50+100x70)/(100+100)=60, inventory balance 200, inventory balance $12000.


    Sell 70 units of item A with a W01 inventory balance of 130 at an average cost of $60 (the sale does not result in a change in average cost).


    Create PO, purchase 100 pieces of item A, purchase price $50, warehouse to W01.


    Check the change in inventory for W01, Commodity A purchased 300 pieces, W01 has an inventory balance of 230, average cost = (130*60+100*50)/(130+100) = 55.65, and inventory balance of 12799.5.

 

 

Returns to suppliers (Debit Note)

    The following is an example of a return to a supplier that results in a change in average cost:
    Open a Debit Note to the supplier to return 20 units of Item A with a return cost of 70 from W01.
    View the Inventory Movement statement for W01.


    In the W01 Statement of Changes in Inventory, Commodity A is out of stock: 20 pieces W01 Ending Inventory 210, Average Cost: (210*55.65-20*70)/(230-20) = 48.98, Ending Balance 10286.5.
    New Average Cost = (Beginning Inventory x Beginning Average Cost - Number of Returns x Cost of Returns) / Ending Inventory.

 

 

Write Off

    The following is an example of a change in average cost due to cost depreciation:
    Purchase four (4) pieces of Item C for a purchase price of $90 seven (7) days prior to the date of the test.


    Commodity C ending inventory in W01: 4, average cost: 90, ending balance: 360. Average cost: 90, ending balance: 360.
    W01 added 25 new purchases of Commodity C at a purchase price of 88.


    Check the W01 Statement of Changes in Inventory, 25 pieces were purchased, ending inventory is 29, and average cost = (4*90+25*88)/(25+4)=88.28.
    Depreciate the cost of Commodity C seven days prior to the date of the test to 81.


    View W01 7 Days Ago Statement of Changes in Inventory, Ending Inventory 4, Average Cost 81, Ending Balance 324.

    Check the inventory movement statement for W01 on the day of the test, 25 pieces were purchased, average cost: (4*81+25*88)/(25+4)=87.03, ending inventory: 29, ending balance 2524.

    New Average Cost = (Ending Inventory at Depreciation Date x New Cost after Depreciation + Quantity x Purchase Cost for each new increase in purchases after the Depreciation Date) / Inventory Now.
