The inventory turnover and current ratio are related. The combination of a high current ratio and a low inventory turnover ratio, relative to industry norms, suggests that the firm has an above-average inventory level and/or that part of the inventory is obsolete or damaged.

just be carrying a lot of good inventory, but it might also have a normal amount of "good"
inventory plus some "bad" inventory that has not been written off. So the statement is true
