Question
What are the implications of high and low inventory turnover ratios?

Answer

A low inventory turnover ratio indicates that inventory docs not sell quickly and remains lying in the godown for quite a long times, This results in increased strong costs, blocking of funds and losses on account of good becoming obsolele or unsaleable.The higher the ratio, the better it is, since it indicates that inventory is selling quickly. In a business where inventory turnover ratio is high, goods can be sold at a low margin of profit and even then the profitability may be quite high.
