INVENTORY VALUATION
Inventory Valuation is the monetary amount
associated with the goods in the inventory. It allows
you to evaluate your Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) and,
ultimately, your profitability.
Inventories are the largest current business assets.
The valuation is based on the costs incurred to acquire
the inventory and get it ready for sale.
