    a. The inventory turnover is 8.00 times

    b. The days' sales in inventory is 68 days

    Explanation:

    a. In order to calculate the inventory turnover we would have to use the following formula:

    inventory turnover=cost of goods sold/average inventory

    inventory turnover=$ 48,800 / ($3,100+$ 9,100) / 2

    inventory turnover=8.00 times

    b. In order to calculate thedays' sales in inventory we would have to use the following formula:

    days' sales in inventory = (Ending invenory/cost of goods sold) * 365

    days' sales in inventory = ($9,100/$48,800) * 365

    days' sales in inventory=68 days
