	2019	2018	2017
Net Sales Revenue	$ 212,000	$ 161,000	$ 170,000
Cost of Goods Sold:
Beginning Merchandise Inventory	$22,000	$36,000	$41,000
Net cost of purchase	131,000	100,000	86,000
Cost of goods available for sale	153,000	136,000	127,000
Less: Ending Merchandise Inventory	25,000	22,000	36,000
Cost of goods sold	128,000	114,000	91,000
Gross Profit	84,000	47,000	79,000
Operating Expenses	63,000	28,000	39,000
Net Income	$ 21,000	$ 19,000	$ 40,000

02

Inventory turnover

$$\begin{gathered} For2019=\frac{Costofgoodssold}{AverageInventory} \\ =\frac{\$128,000}{\frac{\$22,000+\$25,000}{2}} \\ =\frac{\$128,000}{\$23,500} \\ =5.45 \end{gathered}$$

$$\begin{gathered} For2018=\frac{Costofgoodssold}{AverageInventory} \\ =\frac{\$114,000}{\frac{\$36,000+\$22,000}{2}} \\ =\frac{\$114,000}{\$29,000} \\ =3.93 \end{gathered}$$

$$\begin{gathered} For2017=\frac{Costofgoodssold}{AverageInventory} \\ =\frac{\$91,000}{\frac{\$41,000+\$36,000}{2}} \\ =\frac{\$91,000}{\$38,500} \\ =2.36 \end{gathered}$$

03

 Step 3: Days’ sales in inventory

$$\begin{gathered} For2019=\frac{365}{Inventoryturnover} \\ =\frac{365}{5.45} \\ =67days \end{gathered}$$

$$\begin{gathered} For2018=\frac{365}{Inventoryturnover} \\ =\frac{365}{3.93} \\ =92.87days \end{gathered}$$

$$\begin{gathered} For2017=\frac{365}{Inventoryturnover} \\ =\frac{365}{2.36} \\ =154.66 \end{gathered}$$
