Problema Solution

Assume Staley's had net sales of $72,000 per day, beginning inventory of $22,000, and ending inventory at retail of $18,900. What was the inventory turnover at retail?

Answer provided by our tutors

Inventory turnover at retail is net sales divided by average inventory at cost.

net sales per day = $72,000

net sales per year = $72,000*365

average inventory at cost = (1/2)(22,000 + 18,900)

Inventory turnover at retail = net sales per year/average inventory at cost 

Inventory turnover at retail = (72,000*365)/((1/2)(22,000 + 18,900))

Inventory turnover at retail = 1,285.09
