Compute the inventory turnover for 2018

3.6 times

Compute the net margin for 2017.

24.58%

Explanation:

Compute the accounts receivable turnover for 2018.

accounts receivable turnover = Sales / Accounts receivable

                                                  =  $ 2,400,000 / $ 560,000

                                                  = 4.29 times

Compute the inventory turnover for 2018

Inventory turnover = cost of Sales / inventory

                                = $1,800,000 /  $ 500,000

                                = 3.6 times

Compute the net margin for 2017.

net margin = Net Profit / Sales × 100

                  = (2,400,000-1,810,000) / 2,400,000  × 100

                  = 24.58%
