Explanation / Answer

Cost and market data not provided for BE6-7, therefore not possible to provide solution of this question. Solution to BE6-8 provided below:

Solution BE 6-8:

Ending inventory = $40,000

Beginning inventory = $60,000

Average inventory = (Begining Inventory + Ending Inventory)/2 = ($60,000 + $40,000)/2 = $50,000

Cost of goods sold = $270,000

Inventory Turnover = Cost of goods sold / Average inventory = $270,000 / $50,000 = 5.4 times

Day in inventory = Nos of days in a year / Inventory Turnover = 365 / 5.4 = 67.59 days
