The inventory turnover ratio measures how quickly a company's inventory is sold and replenished over a period of time. It is calculated by dividing the cost of goods sold by the average inventory.

Using the information from the annual report:

Cost of goods sold = $14,865,000
Average inventory = ($3,580,000 + $3,397,000) / 2 = $3,488,500

Inventory turnover ratio = $14,865,000 / $3,488,500 = 4.26

Therefore, the closest answer is C) 3.35 which may potentially indicate either rounding or calculation error.
