Answer 1

Answer:

What was Organic​ Grocers' inventory​ turnover

ORGANIC  

11,58  INVENTORY TURNOVER

Explanation:

The Organic company compared with the industry works with more inventory than the market, which means that the company is less efficient than the Grocery Industry in Inventory management .

ORGANIC  

11,58         INVENTORY TURNOVER

11.680,000  Cost Of Goods

1.008,880  Average Inventory

32            DAYS IN INVENTORY

To calculate the Inventory Turnover ratio it's necessary to calculate the average inventory of the year ($1,008,880) , take the Total Cost of Goods ($11,680,000) and divide it by the Average Inventory, the result it's the Inventory Turnover of the company, in this case 11,58

To find the days in inventory we have to divide 365 (days of the year) by the Inventory Turnover, 11,58 the result is 32 days.

To have a similar Inventory Turnover as the industry the company needs to low the average inventory to $898,524.

ORGANIC  

13,00       INVENTORY TURNOVER

11.680,000  Cost Of Goods

898,524  Average Inventory

28           DAYS IN INVENTORY
