What is landed cost ?
Basically landed cost means Product Price + Extra Price.
Ultimately, we have to calculate cost price with all extra cost(customs, duties, taxes, insurance,..) then only we able to calculate correct stock valuation.
Let’s take one example for better idea,
Suppose, i have 2 iPad mini, each priced at 150/unit.
– Selling price : 300 Euro in Belgium
– Transport charge : 9 Euro
– Duty : 11 Euro
Total Landed cost : 320 Euro at receipient address.
So here for 2 iPad mini i have total cost 320 Euro.
Product Cost price : 300
+ Landed cost(9 + 11) : 20
——–
320
Now, in my business how can i allocate landed cost charges, so for that we have different spiting methods(equally, by quantity,…)
equal : we want to allocate cost equally. So here iPad mini 160/unit
