Explanation / Answer

a. Inventory turnover 20Y4             4.6 20Y3             6.6 Working: Inventory turnover = Cost of goods sold/Average Inventory So, Inventory turnover for: 20Y4 = $        1,276,040 / ((227760+327040)/2) = $        1,276,040 / $ 277,400 = 4.6 20Y3 = $ 812,490 / ((159140+227760)/2) = $        1,276,040 / $ 193,450 = 6.6 b. Days sales in inventory 20Y4           79.3 Days 20Y3           55.3 Days Working: Days sales in inventory = Days in a year/Inventory turnover So, Days sales in inventory for: 20Y4 = 365 /           4.60 =           79.3 20Y3 = 365 /           6.60 =           55.3 c. Unfavorable trend First higher inventory turnover ratio is better for company and second lower days sales in inventory is better as it shows mumber of days it take to sale a inventory. and minimum number of days is the better.
