Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is: Maestro's inventory turnover was 5.75 times

Explanation:

In order to find the inventory turnover we use the following formulas:

• Inventory turnover = COGS / Average inventory
• Average inventory = (beginning inventory + ending inventory) / 2

First we find the average inventory:

• Average inventory = ($35,000 + $45,000) / 2 = $40,000

Now we can calculate the inventory turnover:

• Inventory turnover = $230,000 / $40,000 = 5.75 times
