Answer:

Percentage of assets in inventory = 11.26%

Inventory turnover = 8.41 times

Explanation:

The computation of the percentage of assets committed to inventory and inventory turnover is shown below:-

Total inventory = Raw material + Work in progress + Finished goods inventory

= $0.76 billion + $0.12 billion + $0.82 billion

= $1.7 billion

Percentage of assets in inventory = Total inventory ÷ Total assets

= $1.7 ÷ $15.1

= 11.26%

Inventory turnover = Cost of goods sold ÷ Total inventory

= $14.3 ÷ $1.7

= 8.41 times
