The following information came from the income statement of the Watson Company: sales revenue $1,800,000; beginning inventory $160,000; ending inventory $240,000; and gross profit $600,000. Inventory turnover is 6 times per year. What is Watson's days in inventory?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Days on Inventory 61

Explanation:

[tex]\frac{COGS}{Average Inventory} = $Inventory Turnover[/tex]

​where:

[tex]$Average Inventory=(Beginning Inventory + Ending Inventory)/2[/tex]

COGS:      sales - COGS = gross profit

        1,800,000 - COGS = 600,000

COGS: 1,800,000 - 600,000 = 1,200,000

Average Inventory: (160,000+240,000)/2 = 200,000

[tex]\frac{1,200,000}{200,000} = $Inventory Turnover[/tex]

Inventory TO 6

The invenotry is sold 6 times over the course of a year. As the year has 365 days we can divide by the TO to know how many days it takes to sale the inventory:

Days outstanding:

[tex]\frac{365}{Inventory TO} = $Days on Inventory[/tex]

[tex]\frac{365}{6} = $Days on Inventory[/tex]

Days on Inventory 61
