Answer 1

Answer:

The calculations are shown below:

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

As we know that

Inventory turnover ratio is

= Cost of goods sold ÷ Average inventory

So

For year 2015, it is

= $1,270 ÷ $210

= 6.05 times

For year 2014, it is

= $1,560 ÷ $220

= 7.09 times

For year 2013, it is

= $2,000 ÷ $380

= 7.14 times

1-b Average days to sell inventory is computed by considering the

= Total number of days in a year ÷ inventory turnover ratio

So

For year 2015, it is

= 365 ÷ 6.05

= 60.33 days

For year 2014, it is

= 365 ÷ 7.09

= 51.48 days

For year 2013, it is

= 365 ÷ 7.14

= 51.12 days

2. As we can see that the aegis industries inc is performing better than the Snow Pack Corporation as aegis industries has 7.14 times in 2015 as compare to the 5.5 times in 2015
