Inventory turnover

$$\begin{gathered} For2019=\frac{Costofgoodssold}{AverageInventory} \\ =\frac{\$131,000}{\frac{\$22,000+\$23,000}{2}} \\ =\frac{\$131,000}{\$22,500} \\ =5.82 \end{gathered}$$

$$\begin{gathered} For2018=\frac{Costofgoodssold}{AverageInventory} \\ =\frac{\$105,000}{\frac{\$37,000+\$22,000}{2}} \\ =\frac{\$105,000}{\$29,500} \\ =3.6 \end{gathered}$$

$$\begin{gathered} For2017=\frac{Costofgoodssold}{AverageInventory} \\ =\frac{\$85,000}{\frac{\$46,000+\$37,000}{2}} \\ =\frac{\$85,000}{\$41,500} \\ =2.05 \end{gathered}$$

03

Days’ sales in inventory

$$\begin{gathered} For2019=\frac{365}{Inventoryturnover} \\ =\frac{365}{5.82} \\ =62.71 \end{gathered}$$

$$\begin{gathered} For2018=\frac{365}{Inventoryturnover} \\ =\frac{365}{3.6} \\ =101.38 \end{gathered}$$

$$\begin{gathered} For2017=\frac{365}{Inventoryturnover} \\ =\frac{365}{2.05} \\ =178.05 \end{gathered}$$
