    Gerolsteiner's approximate inventory turnover ratio = 6.75 times

    Explanation:

    Given,

    Beginning Inventory (January 1, 2019) = $140,000

    Ending Inventory (December 31, 2019) = $125,000

    Inventory Purchase = $880,000

    Net Sales = $2,200,000

    We know,

    Inventory Turnover Ratio = Cost of Goods sold/Average Inventory

    Here, cost of goods sold = Beginning Inventory + Purchase - Ending Inventory

    Cost of goods sold = $140,000 + $880,000 - $125,000

    Cost of goods sold = $895,000

    Average Inventory = $ (140,000+125,000) / 2

    Average Inventory = $132,500

    Therefore, Inventory Turnover Ratio = $895,000/$132,500

    Inventory Turnover Ratio = 6.75 times
