Find the stock turnover at retail. Round to the nearest hundredth.

Answer 1

Explanation:

Given that average inventory at cost = 18127/-

Cost of goods sold =46971

Hence stock turnover ratio at cost = cost of goods sold/average inventory

= 46971/18127 =2.59

There is another method also to calculate stock inventory ratio

Stock inventory ratio = Retail sales/Average inventory at retail

=63410/24870

=2.5496

=2.55
