Ending Inventory Formula

Formula
$$\text{Ending Inventory} = (\text{Beginning Inventory} + \text{Net Purchases}) – \text{Cost of Goods Sold}$$

Explanation:
This formula calculates the inventory left at the end of a period after accounting for new purchases and goods sold. It helps in preparing financial statements and managing stock levels effectively.

Ending inventory is a vital figure in preparing balance sheets and income statements. It directly affects the cost of goods sold, gross profit, and taxable income. Regular calculation ensures accurate valuation and planning.

Example Variables:

  • Beginning Inventory: $20,000
  • Net Purchases: $15,000
  • Cost of Goods Sold: $25,000
  • Ending Inventory = (20,000 + 15,000) – 25,000 = $10,000

Use Cases:

  • Period-end accounting
  • Inventory audits
  • Tax and profit calculations
  • Business forecasting and planning
