Example 1:

You buy: 10 pcs with the price of 250 USD/pcs
You buy: 5 pcs with the price of 220 USD/pcs

Calculation:
Average price=(10*250+5*220)/15=240 USD/pcs
Inventory value =15*240=3 600 USD

You sell: 5 pcs with the price of 350 USD/pcs

Calculation:
Average price=(10*250+5*220)/15=240 USD/pcs
Inventory value =10*240=2 400 USD
Sales margin = (Average price:240 USD/pcs): 5*350-5*240=550 USD

You buy: 2 pcs with the price of 270 USD/pcs

Calculation:
Average price=(10*240+2*270)/12= 245 USD/pcs
Inventory value: 12*245=2 940 USD
