Hello - I use the value the inventory was purchased at. If you need to, then you can devalue the inventory by stating a write down on obsolete goods, or alternatively, product that you will have to take a discount on. Technically, you have a few options - LIFO (last in, first out), FIFO most common - First in, first out, and average - average is not GAAP in Canadian accounting, but is workable in the states. Hope this helps you!

How many inventory cycles in a year depends entirely on your company policy and the policy you have agreed with your insurance company. It could be that every six months you have to conduct a stock-take (for insurance purposes). Some companies may hold a stock-take every three months - there is not hard or fast rules. Most companies take advice from their insurance company.
