The following information is available for Barkley Company: 2017 2016 Accounts receivable $ 360,000 $400,000 Inventory 280,000 3
lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

4.0 times

Explanation:

Given that,

2016:

Accounts receivables = $400,000

Inventory = 320,000

Net credit sales = 1,400,000

Cost of goods sold = 1,060,000

Net income = 170,000

2017:

Accounts receivables  = $360,000

Inventory = 280,000

Net credit sales = 3,000,000

Cost of goods sold = 1,200,000

Net income = 300,000

Inventory turnover ratio refers to the ratio between the cost of goods sold and average inventory.

Average inventory:

= (Beginning inventory + Ending inventory) / 2

= ($320,000 + $280,000) / 2

= $300,000

Therefore, the inventory turnover ratio for 2017 is as follows:

= Cost of goods sold / Average inventory

= 1,200,000 / 300,000

= 4.0 times

     To Discount on bond payable $235

     To Cash $21,150

(Being the interest expense is recorded)
