1.23

Explanation:

Inventory turnover is a ratio showing how many times a company has sold and replaced inventory during a given period.

Cost of Sales=Opening Inventory+Purchases-Closing Inventory

=5,500+4,000-3,800 = 5,700

Average Inventory = Opening + Closing/2

= 5,500+3,800/2 = 4,650

Inventory Turnover Ratio = Cost of Sales

Avg Inventory

= 5,700/4,650=1.23
