    The company's inventory turnover ratio and average days in inventory is 12 times and 30.41 days respectively

    Explanation:

    The computation of the company's inventory turnover ratio and average days in inventory is shown below:

    Inventory turnover ratio = Cost of goods sold : average inventory

    where,

    Average inventory = (Opening balance of inventory + ending balance of inventory) : 2

    = ($50,000 + $30,000) : 2

    = $40,000

    The formula to compute the cost of goods sold is shown below:

    Cost of goods sold = Opening inventory + Purchase - ending inventory

    = $50,000 + $460,000 - $30,000

    = $480,000

    So, the cost of good sold is $480,000

    Now put these values to the above formula

    So, the answer would be equal to

    = $480,000 : $40,000

    = 12 times

    And, the Days in inventory equals to

    = Total number of days in a year : inventory turnover ratio

    = 365 days : 12 times

    = 30.41 days

    We assume 365 days in a year
