1. A firm has $30,000 of inventory. If this represents 30 days' sales, what is the annual cost of goods sold? What is the inventory turnover ratio?
The Inventory days are defined as
Days Inventory=Inventory/(COGS/365)
Assuming 365 days in a year. Rearranging the above equation in terms of COGS gives us
COGS=(Inventory*365)/Days Inventory
=(30000*365)/30
=365,000
This is the annual cost of goods sold
Inventory Turnover Ratio=COGS/Inventory
365,000/30,000
=12.17
