Cash $29,475

Accounts receivable $16,375

Inventory=? = $19650

Total current assets $65,500

Total current liabilities $22,925

Annual sales $500,000,

Cost of Goods Sold 75% of sales = $375,000

$65,500-45850 = Inventory

Inventory = $19650

Inventory Turnover = Cost Of Good Sold / Average Inventory

We take the current inventory as the average inventory

Inventory Turnover = $ 375,000 / 19650 = 19.08 times
