This measures how many times average inventory is
"turned" or sold during a period. In other words, it measures how many times a
company sold its total average inventory rupee amount during the year. A company
with Rs.100 of average inventory and sales of Rs.1000 effectively sold its 10 times
over. The inventory turnover ratio is calculated by dividing the cost of goods sold for a
period by the average inventory for that period.
Inventory Turnover Ratio =
Cost of Goods Sold

Inventory Turn Over Ratio =
1000000
3000000 + 4000000
2
= .29 Times

Danny does not have very good inventory
