Inventory Management Metrics Large retailers like Costco and Target typically use gross margin ratio (gross margin = sales), inventory turnover (sometimes referred to as inventory turns), and gross margin return on investment (GMROI) to evaluate how well inventory has been managed. The goal is to maximize profits while minimizing the investment in inventory. Below are data for four scenarios, a base scenario (A) followed by three modifications (B, C, and D) to the base scenario. Sales Cost of goods sold Gross profit Average inventory Scenario A Scenario B Scenario C Scenario D $ 50,000 $ 75,000 $ 60,000 $ 50,000 35,000 35,000 30,000 35,000 $ 15,000 $ 40,000 $ 30,000 $ 15,000 $ 6,000 $ 6,000 $ 6,000 $4,000 For each scenario calculate the gross margin percent, the inventory turnover, and GMROI. Round your answers to one decimal place.
