Inventory Turnover for year 2 is 3 times

Explanation:

Inventory turnover is the ratio that how many time a business has sold or replaced the inventory during a given period. A business is considered more profitable if it has high inventory turnover.

According to given data

                                               Year 2          Year 1

Merchandise inventory         $131,000      $135,000

Cost of goods sold                $400,000     $385,000

Average Inventory = ( Opening Inventory + Closing Inventory ) / 2

Average Inventory = ( $131,000 + $135,000 ) / 2 = $133,000

Inventory turnover = Cost of Goods Sold  / Average Inventory value

Inventory Turnover= $400,000 / $133,000 = 3 times
