Answer:
(a) 6
(b) 60.8 days
Explanation:
Given that,
Cost of goods sold = $435,000
Average inventory = 72,500
Therefore,
(a) Inventory turnover ratio:
= Cost of goods sold ÷ Average inventory
= $435,000 ÷ 72,500
= 6
Therefore, the inventory turnover ratio is 6.
(b) Number of days' sales in inventory:
= 365 days ÷ Inventory turnover ratio
= 365 days ÷ 6
= 60.8 days
Therefore, the number of days sales in inventory is 60.8 days.
