the Inventory turnover is a measure of the number of times inventory is sold or used in a time period such as a year.

Reducing holding cost increases net income and profitability as long as the revenue from selling the item remains constant.

The formula for inventory turnover:

\\mbox{Inventory Turnover}=\\frac{\\mbox{Cost of Goods Sold}}{\\mbox{Average Inventory}}

The most basic formula for average inventory:

\\mbox{Average Inventory}=\\frac{\\mbox{Beginning inventory+Ending inventory}}{\\mbox{2}}

The average days to sell the inventory is calculated as follows:[1]

\\mbox{Average days to sell the inventory}=\\frac{\\mbox{365 days}}{\\mbox{Inventory Turnover Ratio}}
