Inventory Turnover:

b. Greater than 2 but less than 3

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

1) Average inventories:

Raw materials $2,500,000

Work-in-process $1,000,000

Finished goods $800,000

Total average inventory $4,300,000

= $12,000,000/$4,300,000

= 2.79 times

Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

The answer is b) $5,319,000.

Explanation:

We have cash collection in third quarter will include:

+ 40% of sales in third quarter which is made in cash;

+ 70% of the remaining 60% of credit sales in third quarter which is collected within the quarter;

+ The remaining 30% of 60% credit sales in second quarter which is collected in third quarter.

We also have:

Sales in second quarter (units) = 180,000 + 18,000 = 198,000 units => Sales revenue = 198,000 x 25 = $4,950,000 => Cash collection in third quarter = 30% x (60%x 4,950,000) = $891,000;

Sales in third quarter (units) = 198,000 + 18,000 = 216,000 units => Sales revenue = 216,000 x 25 = 5,400,000 => Cash collection in third quarter = 0.4 x 5,400,000 + 0.7 x (0.6 x 5,400,000) = $4,428,000

=> Total cash collection in third quarter = 891,000 + 4,428,000 = $5,319,000
