Answer:

A.8.75 weeks

B.5.71

Explanation:

a.

Weeks of supply = average aggregate inventory value/weekly sales at cost

=(1,500,000 + 1,200,000 + 800,000)/(20,000,000/50)

=3,500,000/400,000

Answer:

Weeks Of Supply = 27.82 weeks

Explanation:

Weeks of Supply tells us that on average how long an inventory will last based on current demand.

The formula to calculate it is given below

Weeks Of Supply = Average Aggregate Inventory Value/ Weekly Cost of Sales

Weeks Of Supply = Raw Materials + Work In Process + Finished Goods/ Weekly Cost of Sales

Weeks Of Supply =$1,500,000+ $1,200,000+ $800,000/$ 20,000,000/52

Weeks Of Supply = 10,700,000/384615.385= 27.82 weeks

If the weeks of supply is lower it is better.

Inventory Turnover= $ 20,000,000/10,700,000=1.87 turns
