Expert Solution
Step 1

Inventory turnover ratio

The ratio that represents the number of units sold and replaced by a business during a particular fiscal year is called the inventory turnover ratio. It is always better to keep an inventory turnover ratio between 5 times to 10 times. A high inventory turnover rate indicates that assets are being sold quickly.
