ii. 77.1 days
b
i. 7 times
ii. 52.1 days
Explanation:
Inventory turnover = cost of goods sold / average inventory
average inventory for 2016 = ( 87,750 + 92,500 ) / 2 = $90,125
Inventory turnover $426,650 / $90,125 = 4.7 times
Days' sales in inventory = 365 / inventory turnover = 77.1 days
for 2017
inventory turnover = cost of goods sold / average inventory
average inventory for 2017 = ( 97,400 + 87,750 ) / 2 = $92,575
Inventory turnover $643,825 / $92,575 = 7.0 times
Days' sales in inventory = 365 / inventory turnover = 52.1 days
