Answer:
Inventory Turnover for year 2 is 3 times
Explanation:
Inventory turnover is the ratio that how many time a business has sold or replaced the inventory during a given period. A business is considered more profitable if it has high inventory turnover.
According to given data
Year 2 Year 1
Merchandise inventory $131,000 $135,000
Cost of goods sold $400,000 $385,000
Average Inventory = ( Opening Inventory + Closing Inventory ) / 2
Average Inventory = ( $131,000 + $135,000 ) / 2 = $133,000
Inventory turnover = Cost of Goods Sold / Average Inventory value
Inventory Turnover= $400,000 / $133,000 = 3 times
