Talk:Inventory turns

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

It is also possible to measure stock turn rates based on annual sales at retail divided by average inventory at retail. This measurement, also available in computer systems, is based on the value that your customer perceives product (actual selling price which may include markdowns) and the value of your inventory. These computer systems can devalue inventory as markdowns occur even before they are sold. One valid reason for using retail for these calculations is that if a $100 retail-priced item (that was $50 at cost) is now only worth $80, then the retailer would find it difficult to pay $50 for an item only worth $80 to customers.

Retail-calculated stock turns rates tend to be lower than those calculated at cost. from Mygolfretailguru 02:44, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
