Compute inventory turnover rate for the year. (Round to two decimal places.)
Compute days' sales in inventory for the year. (Round to two decimal places.)
What will be an ideal response


Inventory turnover is 6.94 times for the year.

Calculations:

Average merchandise inventory = (Beginning merchandise inventory + Ending merchandise inventory) / 2
= ($36,000 + $41,400 ) / 2 = $38,700

Inventory turnover = Cost of goods sold / Average merchandise inventory
= $268,400 / $38,700
= 6.94 times for the year

Days' sales in inventory is 52.59 days for the year.

Calculations:

Days' sales in inventory = 365 days / Inventory turnover
= 365 / 6.94 times
= 52.59 days
