The following data were extracted from the income statement of Keever Inc.: Current Year Previous Year Sales $18,500,000 $20,000,000 Beginning inventories 940,000 860,000 Cost of goods sold 9,270,000 10,800,000 Ending inventories 1,120,000 940,000 a. Determine for each year (1) the inventory turnover and (2) the number of days' sales in inv

Answer:

Please see answers below

Explanation:

1. Inventory turnover = Cost of goods sold / Average inventory

Current year inventory turnover = Cost of goods sold / [ Beginning inventory + Closing inventory / 2]

= 9,270,000 / [ 940,000 + 1,120,000 / 2]

= 9,270,000 / 1,030,000

= 9 times

Previous year inventory turnover = Cost of goods sold / [ Beginning inventory + Closing inventory / 2]

= 10,800,000 / [ 860,000 + 940,000 / 2 ]

= 10,800,000 / 900,000

= 12 times

2. The number of day sales in inventory = Number of days in a year / Inventory turnover

Current year = 365 / 9

= 40.55

Previous year = 365 / 12

= 30.42

The March 29, 2012, edition of the Wall Street Journal Online contains an article by Miguel Bustillo entitled, "Best Buy Forced to Rethink Big Box." The article explains how the 1,100 giant stores, which enabled Best Buy to obtain its position as the largest retailer of electronics, are now reducing the company’s profitability and even threatening its survival. The problem is that many customers go to Best Buy stores to see items but then buy them for less from online retailers. As a result, Best Buy recently announced that it would close 50 stores and switch to smaller stores. However, some analysts think that these changes are not big enough.
Suppose the following data were extracted from the 2017 and 2012 annual reports of Best Buy. (All amounts are in millions).
2017 2016 2012 2011
Total assets at year-end $17,729 $18,390 $11,880 $10,234

Steve’s Lumber Company features a large selection of materials for flooring, decks, moldings, windows, siding and roofing. It is a small, but profitable family business that is looking to expand. The prices of lumber and other building materials are constantly changing. When a customer places an order, typically inquiring about the price on pre-finished wood flooring, sales representatives consult the catalogue, and a manual price sheet and then call the supplier for the most recent price. The supplier in turn uses a manual price sheet, which has been updated each day. Often the supplier must call back Steve’s reps because the company does not have the newest pricing information immediately on hand. Of course, the customer’s order is delayed until a firm price is determined. Steve has hired you to assess the business impact of the situation.
