At the start of the year, Sandy's Flowers had inventory worth $587,200 at retail. On December 31, the retail value of the inventory was $137,700. If annual sales amounted to $2,899,600 find the inventory turnover at retail for the year. (Round your answer to the nearest tenth)
Inventory Turnover for the year
Inventory Turnover Ratio is calculated by using the following formula
Inventory Turnover Ratio = Annual Sales / Average Inventory
Average Inventory = [Inventory at the beginning + Inventory at the year-end] / 2
= [$587,200 + $137700] / 2
= $724,900 / 2
= $362,450
Therefore, the Inventory Turnover Ratio = Annual Sales / Average Inventory
= $28,99,600 / $362,450
= 8.0 Times
“Hence, the Inventory Turnover for the year would be 8.0 Times”
