Required: Assuming that the merchandise inventory buildup was relatively constant, how many times did the merchandise inventory turnover during 2012?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The merchandise inventory turnover during 2012 is 8 times.

Explanation:

The following information is given:

Sales -  $ 2,000,000

Cost of goods sold - $1,400,000

Merchandise inventory Beginning of year -  $ 155,000

Merchandise inventory End of year - $ 195,000

After considering these information, it is easy to calculate the merchandise inventory turnover. The formula is shown below:

Merchandise Inventory Turnover =  COGS ÷ Average inventory

where average inventory = (opening inventory + ending inventory) ÷ 2

So,

Average inventory = ( $ 155,000 + $ 195,000) ÷ 2

                               = $175,000

Now, we can compute easily

Merchandise Inventory Turnover = 1,400,000 ÷ $175,000

                                                       = 8 times

Thus, the merchandise inventory turnover during 2012 is 8 times.
