Answer:
a. 3.60
b. 101.39 days
c. 28%
Explanation:
a. Inventory turnover ratio = Cost of goods sold / Average inventory
Average inventory = (Beginning inventory + Closing inventory ) / 2
= ($55,000 + $45,000)/2
= $50,000
Cost of goods sold = $180,000
Therefore, inventory turnover = $180,000 / $50,000
= 3.60
b. Average days in inventory
= Number of days in year / Inventory turnover ratio
= 365 / 3.6
= 101.39 days
c. Gross profit ratio
Sales
$250,000
Less: cost of goods sold
($180,000)
Gross profit
$70,000
Therefore, Gross profit ratio
= Gross profit / sales
= $70,000 / $250,000
= 28%
