The inventory turnover formula is Inventory/Cost of sales*365

Do we use the opening or closing inventory?

Or average inventory?

There is no rule – it depends on the information given.

Most sensible would be average inventory, but this is only possible if you can work out the average for both of the years we are comparing.

So usually we use the closing inventory.
