1 answer

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
