Question 307 (3 of 4 Based on Passage)
Write in Short
Short Answer▾State what does the inventory turnover ratio measure and what is the average age of inventory? (Marks 2)
Explanation
- Inventory Turnover Ratio measures the speed with which the inventory is converted into sales. It is the number of times inventory is sold in a year. Greater inventory turnover implies faster sales and indicates efficiency in inventory management whereas lower turnover shows inefficiency or overstocking.
Average Age of Inventory is the average time it takes to sell an inventory. It is calculated by dividing 12months or 365 days by the inventory turnover. Greater turnover implies lower inventory age and vice versa.
