Respuesta :

Answer:

(a) 6

(b) 60.8 days

Explanation:

Given that,

Cost of goods sold = $435,000

Average inventory = 72,500

Therefore,

(a) Inventory turnover ratio:

= Cost of goods sold ÷ Average inventory

= $435,000 ÷ 72,500

= 6

Therefore, the inventory turnover ratio is 6.

(b) Number of days' sales in inventory:

= 365 days ÷ Inventory turnover ratio

= 365 days ÷ 6

= 60.8 days

Therefore, the number of days sales in inventory is 60.8 days.
