Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Compute its current ratio, inventory turnover, and day's sales in inventory for 2015 using:

A. LIFO Numbers 2015

Current Ratio: current asset/current liability = 390/175 = 2.23

Inventory turnover = Cost of goods sold/ average inventory= 965/(400/12) = 965/33.33 = 29.0

Day's sales in inventory = Ending Inventory/Cost of goods sold* 365 = 330/910*365 = 132.36

B. FIFO numbers in 2015

Current Ratio: current asset/current liability = 390/175 = 2.23

Inventory turnover = Cost of goods sold/ average inventory= 965/(400/12) = 965/33.33= 29.0

Day's sales in inventory = Ending Inventory/Cost of goods sold* 365 = 400/965*365 = 151.3
