f. | Compute the following inventory turnover for Year 2.(Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) |
g. |
Compute the following average sale period for Year 2. (Use 365 days in a year. Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimals places and your final answer to 2 decimal place.) |
Answer: |
(f) |
Average inventory = Opening inventory
+ Closing Inventory / 2 = $130 + $130 / 2 = $130 |
Inventory turnover for year 2 = Cost of Goods sold / Average inventory = $955 / $130 = 7.35 |
(g) |
Average sale period = 365 / inventory
turnover = 365 / ($955 / $130 ) (or ) 365 / 7.35 = 49.69 days (or) 49.66 days |
