To determine the beginning inventory cost at the start of an accounting period, add together the previous period's cost of goods sold with its ending inventory. From that sum, subtract the amount of inventory purchased during that period. The resulting number is the beginning inventory cost for the next accounting period.
The main function of inventory is to provide operations with an ongoing supply of materials. To achieve this function effectively, your business should strive to find a sweet spot between too much and too little, without ever running out of stock.
The basic formula for calculating ending inventory is: Beginning inventory + net purchases – COGS = ending inventory. Your beginning inventory is the last period's ending inventory. The net purchases are the items you've bought and added to your inventory count.
