Answer #1

Adjusted Cost of goods sold = Cost of goods sold - (Ending LIFO reserve - Beginning LIFO reserve)

= $1,787 - ($87 - $121)

= $1,787 + $34

= $1,821

Inventory turnover = Cost of goods sold / Average Inventory = $1,381 / (317 + 495) /2 = 4.48522

Day's sales in Inventory = 365 days / 4.48522

Day's sales in Inventory = 81.4 days
