Question

Early in 2022, Stevenson Incorporated switched to a JIT (just-in-time) inventory system. Financial information for the two most recent years is listed below: How many times did inventory turnover increase as a result of the switch to the JIT system?

Answer 1

3.8 times

Step-by-step explanation:

Inventory turnover indicates how many times a company sells and replaces its stock of goods during a particular period. The formula for inventory turnover ratio is the cost of goods sold divided by the average inventory for the same period.

$ 320,000 / 63,000 = 5.1 times in 2022

$283,500 / 32,000 = 8.9 times in 2023

Therefore inventory turnover increase as a result of the switch to the JIT system by 8.9 times - 5.1 times = 3.8 times
