Begin by computing Lemony​'s gross profit percentage for 2018. ​(Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a​ percent, X.X%.) Lemony's gross profit percentage for 2018 is %.

Answer 1

Answer:

Gross profit is 60%

Inventory turnover is 4.6 times

Explanation:

The formula to compute the gross profit percentage is shown below:

= (Gross profit ÷ sales) × 100

where,

Gross profit = Sales - the cost of good sold

                   = $32,200 million ÷ $12,880 million

                   = $19,320 million

And, the sales is $32,200 million

Now put these values to the above formula  

So, the percentage would equal to

= ($19,320 million) ÷ ($32,200 million) × 100

= 60%

The formula to compute the inventory turnover is shown below:

= (Cost of goods sold) ÷ average inventory

where,

Average inventory = (Beginning inventory + ending inventory) ÷ 2

                               = ($1,200 million + $1,600 million ) ÷ 2

                               = $900 million

And, the cost of good sold is $12,880 million

Now put these values to the above formula  

So, the turnover would equal to

= $12,880 million ÷ $2,800 million

= 4.6 times
