Tinker's cost of goods sold in the year of sale (2019) was $750,000 and 2018 cost of goods sold was $770,000. The inventory at the end of 2019 was $188,000 and at the end of 2018 the inventory was $208,000. Tinker's average number of days to sell its inventory during 2019 is closest to: (Use 365 days a year.)

Answer 1

Answer:

96.3 days

Explanation:

Inventory turnover is calculated as;

= ( Average inventory / cost of goods sold ) × 365

Where,

Average inventory = (Beginning inventory + Ending inventory) / 2

Average inventory = ($208,000 + $188,000) / 2

Average inventory = $198,000

Therefore,

Inventory turnover = ($198,000 / $750,000) × 365

Inventory turnover = 96.3 days

The average number of days for Tinker to sell it's inventory during 2019 is closest to 96.3 days
