The answer is D.

Explanation:

Inventory turnover is a measure of the number of times inventory is being sold or used during a given period of time.

A high inventory turnover means a company is selling goods very quickly and that demand for their product exists. Low inventory turnover means weaker sales and ing demand for a company's products.

Inventory turnover = Cost of goods sold/Average inventory

Average inventory is:

($110,000 + $90,000)/2

=$100,000

Therefore, inventory turnover ratio:

$270,00//$100,000

2.7
