Solution

Answer 26.

Average Inventory = (Beginning Inventory + Ending Inventory) / 2
Average Inventory = ($120,000 + $150,000) / 2
Average Inventory = $135,000

Inventory Turnover = Cost of Goods Sold / Average Inventory
Inventory Turnover = $810,000 / $135,000
Inventory Turnover = 6.0 times

Answer 27.

Days’ in Inventory = 365 / Inventory Turnover
Days’ in Inventory = 365 / 6
Days’ in Inventory = 60.8 days

Answer 28.

The lower of cost and net realizable value basis of valuing inventory ensures that inventories are valued at their selling price.
