60 = 365/Inventory turnover inventory turnover = 365/60 cogs/avg. inventory = 365/60 cogs = 365*2/60 gross profit = 25 - 365*2/60 = 12.83
$13

yeah i keyed in 20 - the answer is 12.83
$12.83 Av Inverntory Processing Period: 60 days DOH = #days in period/inventory turnover so… inventory turnover = 365/60 = 6.08 Inventory turnover = COGS/inventory so… COGS = 6.08 * 2 = 12.167 GP = Sales - COGS = 25 - 12.167 = 12.83

FIFO will result in lower COGS in inflation period, so higher GP
