Answer:
Inventory turnover= 3.25
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Cost of merchandise sold $552,500
Inventories:
Beginning of year 200,000
End of year 140,000
To calculate the inventory turnover, we need to use the following formula:
Inventory turnover= Cost of goods sold/ average inventory
Average inventory= (beginning inventory + ending inventory) / 2
Average inventory= (200,000 + 140,000)/2= 170,000
Inventory turnover= 552,500/170,000
Inventory turnover= 3.25
