Q

what types of ratios are inventory turnover and days in inventory

A

liquidity ratios along with current ratio

17
Q

Inventory is a significant component of the current ratio, and a high level of inventory will result in a high current ratio. However, if inventory is not turning over very quickly, this will result in an “artificially” high current ratio that is not indicative of high liquidity. Consequently, we can never interpret the current ratio unless we look more closely at the nature of its components, such as inventory, and assess its turnover(

Q

Many companies have moved to streamline their supply chain operations, which include purchasing inventory and transporting it to a desired destination. One way of managing inventory on hand is to use a just-in-time approach. This means that a company avoids ordering large quantities of an inventory item, particularly one that is not in high demand, because ordering large quantities increases the time that the company will hold this inventory. This leads to an increase in a company’s holding costs, such as interest on loans received to buy the inventory, storage costs, and insurance. If a company orders goods more frequently and in smaller quantities, it can receive and sell these goods at or about the same time. This reduces inventory quantities on hand. It also improves the inventory turnover ratio. However, during COVID and other times when inventory supply chains can be disrupted, companies must ensure that enough inventory is on hand to meet demand.
