Question
**Inventory Turnover Calculation**

Given the data:
- Net sales: $40,000
- Beginning inventory at retail: $14,000
- Ending inventory at retail: $20,000
- Cost of goods sold (COGS): $19,500

**Problem:**
Calculate the inventory turnover at retail to the nearest hundredth.

**Multiple Choice Options:**
- 5.15
- 3.25
- 2.35
- 5.23
- None of the answer choices are correct.

**Explanation:**

The inventory turnover ratio is generally calculated as:
\[ \text{Inventory Turnover} = \frac{\text{Cost of Goods Sold (COGS)}}{\text{Average Inventory}} \]

The average inventory is calculated as:
\[ \text{Average Inventory} = \frac{\text{Beginning Inventory} + \text{Ending Inventory}}{2} \]

Substituting the given values:
\[ \text{Average Inventory} = \frac{14,000 + 20,000}{2} = 17,000 \]

The inventory turnover ratio is:
\[ \text{Inventory Turnover} = \frac{19,500}{17,000} \approx 1.15 \]

Since this value does not appear in the given options, the correct answer would be:
- None of the answer choices are correct.
