    Inventory turnover

    Current year = 9 times

    Previous year = 12.1 times

    Inventory days

    Current year = 40.6 days

    Previous year = 30.1 days

    Explanation:

    Inventory turnover is the average length of time it takes the item of stock to be sold and replaced. It can be measured in days or in number of times.

    Inventory turnover (number of times) = cost of goods sold/average inventory

    Inventory turnover days = (Average inventory / cost of good sold) * 365 days

    Note average inventory = (opening inventory + closing inventory) / 2

    Average inventory (current year) : (940,000+1,120,000) / 2 = 1,030,000.00

    Average inventory (previous) : (840000+940000) / 2 = 890,000

    Inventory turnover

    Current year = 9270,000/1,030,000 = 9 times

    Previous year = 10,800,000/890,000 = 12.13 times

    Inventory days

    Current year = (1,030,000/9,270,000) * 365 days = 40.6 days

    Previous year = (890,000/10,800,000) * 365 days = 30.1 days
