Efficient inventory management is the backbone of any successful business. When it comes to accounting for stock, one of the most reliable valuation methods is Weighted Average Costing. With Zoho Books Weighted Average Costing, businesses can streamline inventory tracking, accurately calculate costs, and make informed pricing decisions. Whether you’re a retailer, wholesaler, or manufacturer, this feature is designed to improve financial visibility and profitability.
What Is Weighted Average Costing?
Weighted Average Costing (WAC) is an inventory valuation method that calculates the average cost of inventory items based on the total cost of goods available for sale and the total units available. Instead of tracking individual costs for each purchase, WAC smooths out fluctuations in prices, offering a consistent and simplified approach to inventory valuation.
For example:
Total Cost of Goods Purchased = $10,000
Total Units Purchased = 500
Weighted Average Cost per Unit = $10,000 / 500 = $20 per unit
Each time a sale occurs, the cost of goods sold (COGS) is calculated based on the average cost, ensuring accuracy and reducing the need for manual tracking.
