Question

Endor Company begins the year with $110,000 of goods in inventory. At year-end, the amount in inventory has increased to $118,000. Cost of goods sold for the year is $1,300,000. Compute Endor’s inventory turnover and days’ sales in inventory. Assume that there are 365 days in the year

Answer 1

Answer:

11.40

32 days

Explanation:

Inventory turnover and days of sales of inventory are examples of activity ratios.

They are used to measure the efficiency of performing daily tasks

inventory turnover =  Cost of goods sold/ average inventory

Average inventory = ($118,000 + $110,000) / 2 = $114,000

Inventory turnover =  $1,300,000 / $114,000 = 11.40

days of sales of inventory = 365 / inventory turnover = 365 / 11.40 = 32 days
