Inventory Turnover Ratio shows the number of times a company has sold inventory during a period.

Inventory Turnover

Cost of Goods Sold

Year 2

Cost of Goods Sold (A)

$390,000

Average Inventories (B)

[(Beg 117,000 + Ending 121,000)/2]

$119,000

Inventory Turnover (A/B)

3.28

(390,000 / 119,000)

The correct option is B) 3.28

25)

Base Year = Year 1 = Cost of Goods Sold = $977,000

Year 2 Cost of Goods Sold = $953,000

Change from Year 1 to Year 2 = $977,000- 953,000 = $24,000 Decrease

Percentage Change from Year 1 to Year 2 = Change in Cost of Goods Sold / Base Year Value x 100

= $24,000 / 977,000 x 100

= 2.46% Decrease

The correct option is C) 2.46% decrease
