Explanation / Answer

8. The inventory turnover ratio for the year was 5.

Inventory turnover ratio = Cost of goods sold / Average inventory = $525,000 / $105,000 = 5

9. The accounts receivable turnover ratio for the year is 10.

Accounts receivable turnover ratio = Sales / Average accounts receivable = $ 830,000 / $ 83,000 = 10

10. On average, 37 days of sales were in accounts receivable during the year.

Days sales outstanding = Number of days in a year / Accounts receivable turnover = 365 / 10 = 36.5 or 37 approx.

11. On an average, 73 days of sales were in inventory during the year

Inventory conversion period = Number of days in the year / Inventory turnover = 365 / 5 = 73 days

12. The interest coverage for the company is 10.

Interest coverage = Earnings before interest and taxes / Interest expense = $ ( 400,000 + 140,000 + 60,000) / $ 60,000 = 10 times.
