To calculate the inventory turnover and the days' sales in inventory, we will use the following formulas:
a) Inventory Turnover
The formula for inventory turnover is:
\[ \text{Inventory Turnover} = \frac{\text{Cost of Goods Sold}}{\text{Average Inventory}} \]
Given:
- Cost of Goods Sold = $564,655
- Average Inventory = $66,430
Calculating Inventory Turnover:
\[ \text{Inventory Turnover} = \frac{564,655}{66,430} \approx 8.5 \]
b) Days' Sales in Inventory
The formula for days' sales in inventory is:
\[ \text{Days' Sales in Inventory} = \frac{365}{\text{Inventory Turnover}} \]
Using the Inventory Turnover calculated above:
\[ \text{Days' Sales in Inventory} = \frac{365}{8.5} \approx 42.94 \]
Rounding to one decimal place, this would be approximately 42.9 days.
Final Answers:
- a. Inventory Turnover: 8.5
- b. Days' Sales in Inventory: 42.9 days
