Hi DePez
The average cost of an item is calculated as the Current Value of the item divided by the Quantity on Hand of that item. So from what I can see of the item you have provided in your screenshot, the item is correctly showing the average cost: 356.22 / 15 = 23.7483
You also indicated that the purchase price of the item, this will impact the purchases of the item and thus the Current Value. However, they are not directly related i.e. in some cases these would not be similar. This typically happens if you have purchased the item at a significantly higher value or done an inventory adjustment of that item. I would be taking a look at purchases and inventory adjustments of that item to review the prices used on those transactions.
