Answer 1

Answer:

a. 4.91

b. 2.50 days

Explanation:

a. Inventory turnover

= Cost of goods sold / Average inventory

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

= (4,676,000 + 4,190,000) / 2

= $4,433,000

Inventory turnover = 21,766,030 / $4,433,000

= 4.91

b. D​ays' sales in average receivables

= Average Account Receivables / Average daily sales

Average account receivables = (Ending receivables + Opening receivables) / 2

= (100,800 + 378,500) / 2

= $239,650

Average daily Sales = Sales / 365

= 34,988,900 / 365

= $95,860

D​ays' sales in average receivables = 239,650 / 95,860

= 2.50 days
