Final Answer :
(a) Inventory turnover: $640,000($60,000+$100,000)÷2=$640,000$80,000=8.0\frac { \$ 640,000 } { ( \$ 60,000 + \$ 100,000 ) \div 2 } = \frac { \$ 640,000 } { \$ 80,000 } = 8.0($60,000+$100,000)÷2$640,000=$80,000$640,000=8.0

(b) Days in inventory: 3658.0=45.6\frac { 365 } { 8.0 } = 45.68.0365=45.6 days
