Question 5.1: Inventory bought

How much inventory was bought during the year?

Answer 5.1: 344 + (178 – 167) = 355

(inventory bought = payments to suppliers + Δ(accounts payable) )


Question 5.2: Cost of goods sold

What is the cost of goods sold during the year?

Answer 5.2: 355 – (165 – 132) = 322

(cost of goods sold = inventory bought during year – Δ(inventory) )


Question 5.3: Inventory turnover

What is the inventory turnover for the year?

Answer 5.3: 322 / ( (165 + 132) / 2) = 2.168

(inventory turnover = cost of goods sold / average inventory)


Question 5.4: Net revenue

What is the net revenue during the year?

Answer 5.4: 322 / (1 – 68%) = 1,006.25

(net revenue = cost of goods sold / (1 – gross profit margin) )


Question 5.5: Receivables turnover

What is the receivables turnover for the year?

Answer 5.5: (1,006.25 × 55%) / ( (134 + 120) / 2) = 4.358

(receivables turnover = credit sales / average accounts receivable)


Question 5.6: Cash received from customers

What is the cash received from customers during the year?

Answer 5.6: 1,006.25 – (120 – 134) = 1,020.25
