    The inventory turnover for 2014 is 6.54 times while that of year 2013 is 5.37 times

    On other hand, average days was 56 days in the year 2014 and 64

    days in 2013. This means that in 2014, it took 56 days to replenish stock and 64 days in prior year

    Explanation:

    The formula for inventory turnover is costs of goods sold/average inventory, where average inventory is: opening plus closing inventory/2

    2014 2013

    Cost of goods sold $13980 $11,864

    Average inventory

    2014: ($2201+$2077) / 2 $2139

    2013: ($2077+$2341) / 2 $2209

    $13980/$2139 $11864/$2209

    Inventory turnover 6.54 times 5.37 times

    Average days is given=365 days/inventory turnover

    Average days 365/6.54 365/5.7

    Average days 55.81 64.04
