Itâs important to note that married filing separately is not the same as filing as a single person. In most cases, it doesnât make sense to file separately because a married couple will usually end up paying more total tax with two returns.
Inventory costs are the costs related to storing and maintaining its inventory over a certain period of time. Typically, inventory costs are described as a percentage of the inventory value (annual average inventory, i.e. for a retailer the average of the goods bought to its suppliers during a year) on an annualized basis. They vary strongly depending on the business field, but they are always quite high.
1 The value of the inventory is the most recent cost paid for each item.  The dollar amount of your inventory only matters as it relates to cash flow. For example: If you normally carry an inventory of $6,000 and this week is $7,000, but your food cost ends up the same, youâve got $1,000 in cash tied up in inventory.
