Average Cost Method: Under this method average cost is calculated by following farmula:Average cost of unit= Total cost of inventory / total number of units
FIFO method is based on the actual cost of each particular unit of inventory. In this method, inventory which is purchased first is sold out first. It ensures that old inventory is not piled up in storage and most companies use this method to evaluate their inventory.
Variable cost per unit = Total variable cost / total number of units manufactured
Steps: Preparing a Purchases BudgetCalculate the ending inventory for each quarter.Enter projected unit sales for the quarter from the sales budget schedule.Add ending inventory units and projected sales units to determine total units needed per quarter.Enter beginning inventory, which is the same as ending inventory for the preceding quarter.Subtract beginning inventory from total units needed to determine total unit purchases for the quarter.Enter the unit cost for each quarter.Multiply the unit purchases each quarter to determine the cost of purchases.Sample Purchases Budget
Inventory Management helps in the followoing:Right product/material in right quantity at right timeMeeting the material/product requirement efficiently.Maintaining optimum inventory levelReducing cost of stock in hold by maintaining optimum level of inventory.Overall reduction in unit cost
It derives from Q formula that is already mentioned above OC = Q2 . IC . UC / AD . 2 where, AD = Annual Demand UC = Cost per unit IC = Inventory Carrying Cost

Fixed cost / (selling price - Variable cost per unit) --> Fixed cost ----------------------------------------------- (Selling Price - Variable Cost Per Unit)
Economic order quantity is the small lot size to minimize the inventory cost.
hey there, how do you calculate the unit selling price please? x

Increase in cost: take the first derivative with respect to the unit produced of a cost function. Total cost: sub-in the new quantity into the cost function.
Economic order quantity ("EOQ") is the level of inventory that minimizes the total inventory holding costs and ordering costs. EOQ is the level of the inventory where ordering cost and carrying cost remains equal. Total Cost = purchase cost + ordering cost + holding cost - Purchase cost: This is the variable cost of goods: purchase unit price × annual demand quantity. This is P×D - Ordering cost: This is the cost of placing orders: each order has a fixed cost C, and we need to order D/Q times per year. This is C × D/Q - Holding cost: the average quantity in stock (between fully replenished and empty) is Q/2, so this cost is H × Q/2
Holding cost per unit * Average Demand Average Demand= 1/2 * Annual Demand
