Question

North Side Wholesalers has sales of $948,000. The cost of goods sold is equal to 68 percent of sales. The firm has an average inventory of $23,000. How many days on average does it take the firm to sell its inventory? Group of answer choices

Answer 1

Answer:

13 days

Explanation:

We are to calculate the days of inventory on hand.

Days of inventory on hand = number of days in a period/ inventory turnover

Inventory turnover = Cost of goods sold / average inventory

Cost of goods sold = 0.68 x $948,000 = $644,640

Inventory turnover = $644,640 / $23,000 = 28.027826

Days of inventory on hand = 365 / 28.027826 = 13.02 days
