What is Average inventory?
Average inventory is the typical value of stock held during a period, usually the opening and closing balances averaged, or better, several month-end balances.
It is the denominator of turnover and GMROI. Use value at cost, and take more than two points if stock is built up before a peak.
Formula
Average inventory = (opening + closing) ÷ 2
