Answer 1

Answer:

2.0 times

Explanation:

The inventory turnover ratio indicates how efficient a company is in converting its inventory into sales. It shows the number of times a business sells and restocks its inventory in a period.

The formula for calculating inventory turnover is as follows.

Inventory turn over = Costs of goods sold/ Average inventory

For Castile Co.

COGS is $18,000

Average inventory = Beginning inventory + ending inventory /2Beginning inventory = $6,000

if COGS = Beginning inventory + Purchases - Ending inventory

Then $18,000 = $6000 +$24,000 - ending inventory

=$18,000 = $30,000 -ending inventory

Ending inventory = $30,000-$12,000

Ending Inventory =$12,000

Average inventory = $6000+$12,000/2

Average inventory = $9,000

Inventory turnover = $18000/$9000

=2.0
