Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The inventory turnover ratio is calculated as Cost of Goods Sold / Average Inventory. Average Inventory = (Beginning Inventory + Ending Inventory) / 2 = (92,000 + 78,000) / 2 = 85,000. Inventory Turnover Ratio = 894,000 / 85,000 = 10.52. Days' sales in inventory = 365 / Inventory Turnover Ratio = 365 / 10.52 ≈ 34.70 days.
