Rascal Flats has a current ratio equal to 1.6 and a quick ratio equal to 1.2.  The company’s COGS are $2,000,000 and its current liabilities are $1,000,000.  What is the company’s inventory turnover ratio?

Expert Solution
Step 1

The method by which it is ascertained whether there exists an optimal level of inventory in the business is known by calculating the Inventory Turnover Ratio. This ratio is generally denoted in times. The higher the ratio, the better it is for the business.

It is calculated as:

ITR = Cost of Goods SoldAverage Inventory

First, calculate the Inventory by using the Current Ratio and Quick Ratio:

Current Ratio = Current AssetsCurrent Liabilities1.6 = Current Assets1000000Current Assets = 1600000

Now calculate the Inventory by using the Quick Ratio:

Quick Ratio = Current Assets - InventoryCurrent Liabilities1.2 = 1600000 - Inventory1000000Inventory = 400000
