Explanation / Answer

Dept 1 Dept 2 Dept 3

Gross margin 150000-78000 / 150000 195000-84500 / 195000 278000-205000 / 278000

= 48% = 56.67% =26.26%

Inventory Turnover 78000 / 13000 84500 / 9400 205000 /68350

   =6 = 8.99 =2.99

Average Days in

Inventory 365 / 6 365/ 8.99 365 / 2.99

= 61 days =41days =122 days

GMROI 72000 / 13000 110500 / 9400 73000 / 68350

= 5.54 =11.76 =1.07

As per calculation done above , Dept .B is doing better among other departments.

Notes : gross margin = Net sales - Cost of goods sold / net sales

Inventory Turnover = Cost of goods sold / average inventory

Average days in Inventory = 365/ inventory turnover

Gross Margin Return on Investment (GMROI) = Net sales - cost of goods sold / Average inventory
