Revenue-Cost of Goods Sold(CGS)=Gross Margin. The valuation of inventory drives the cost of goods sold (CGS). The higher the value of your inventory, the higher your CGS, thus lower gross margin. The lower the valuation of your inventory, the lower your CGS, thus higher gross margins.

The method of computing inventory that uses records of the selling prices of merchandise is called the Retail Inventory Method. This method estimates inventory value by applying a cost-to-retail percentage to the ending inventory at retail prices. It is commonly used by retailers to manage inventory without physically counting items, allowing for efficient tracking of inventory levels and valuation.
Weighted average inventory valuation method is method in which inventory purchased at any price is put together to calculate one price for allocation in contrast to FIFO or LIFO.
The GAAP method for obsolete or slow moving inventory is to account for all inventory using either market value or cost method. The method which results in the lower amount is the one that is used.
FIFO method is based on the actual cost of each particular unit of inventory. In this method, inventory which is purchased first is sold out first. It ensures that old inventory is not piled up in storage and most companies use this method to evaluate their inventory.
FIFO method where the older items are sold first.
The inventory costing method that reflects the cost flow in the reverse order and will report the earliest costs in ending inventory is last in first out. This makes use of a perpetual inventory system.

The method of inventory refers to the system used by a business to value its inventory and determine the cost of goods sold. Common methods include First-In, First-Out (FIFO), Last-In, First-Out (LIFO), and Weighted Average Cost. Each method affects financial statements and tax liabilities differently, influencing business decisions regarding pricing, purchasing, and inventory management. The choice of method often depends on the nature of the inventory and the financial strategy of the business.
