The inventory turnover ratio is calculated using the formula:
Inventory Turnover=Cost of Goods SoldAverage Inventory\text{Inventory Turnover} = \frac{\text{Cost of Goods Sold}}{\text{Average Invento-ry}}Inventory Turnover=Average InventoryCost of Goods Sold
Average inventory for the year is:
Begin-ning Inventory+Ending Inventory2=5,000,000+54,000,0002=29,500,000\frac{\text{Beginning In-ventory} + \text{Ending Inventory}}{2} = \frac{5,000,000 + 54,000,000}{2} = 29,500,0002Beginning Inventory+Ending Inventory=25,000,000+54,000,000=29,500,000
Using the formula:
Inventory Turnover=2,300,00029,500,000≈0.078\text{Inventory Turnover} = \frac{2,300,000}{29,500,000} \approx 0.078Inventory Turnover=29,500,0002,300,000≈0.078
