(1) Day Sales in Inventory is the average number of days that is taken by company to sell its goods. If it is higher in days, then it means company is unable to manage its inventory properly.
Its formula is 365*average inventory/cost of goods sold
Given inventory = 250
Cost of goods sold = 1,500
Day sales in Inventory = 365*250/1500 = 61 days.
Inventory turnover ratio = cost of goods sold/ inventory
= 1500/250
= 6 times
Day sales in Receivables is the average number of days debtors take to pay off the Money for the goods they purchased.
The company should be able to manage its debtors properly.
It is calculated as 365*accounts receivables/credit sales
Given accounts receivables = 1,000
Sales = 9,000
Debtors days = 365*1000/9000 = 41 days
On an average it is taking 41 days for the credit customers to pay off their accounts.
