Minimum and maximum
You calculate average change in inventory by dividing the turnover by how many times it has turned over. The number you get is the average.
This is a very simple calculation. Days to Sell Inventory(or Days in Inventory) = Average Inventory / Annual Cost of Goods Sold /365 Average Inventory = (Beginning Inventory + Ending Inventory) / 2 To calculate this ratio for a quarter instead of a year use the following variation: Days to Sell Inventory (or Days in Inventory) = Average Inventory / "Quarterly" Cost of Goods Sold /"90" Average Inventory = (Beginning Inventory + Ending Inventory) / 2
Generally inventory turnover period is calculated as: Sales/Inventory Also by, Cost of Goods Sold/ Average Inventory
