Companies calculate their stock turns by dividing the result of an inventory turnover ratio formula (COGS or sales) by the average value of inventory. Inventory turns, as measured by the inventory turnover rate ca...
The retail method is often used in the retail industry for measuring inventories of large numbers of rapidly changing items with similar margins for which it is impracticable to use other costing methods. The cost of the inventory is determined by reducing the sales value of the inventory by the appropriate percentage gross margin.
The ‘Blind Freddy’ proposition is a term used by Justice Middleton in the case of ASIC v Healey & Ors [2011] (Centro case) to describe glaringly obvious mistakes.
