Starting inventory (opening stock) + Purchases − Ending inventory (closing stock).
This metric helps you understand the true cost of your products and how it impacts your gross profit.
Gross Profit:
Gross profit is calculated as:
(Total sell price - Total purchase price) + HMS Total.
It provides a clear view of the profit generated from sales before additional expenses are accounted for.
