hello everyone hi welcome to the channel of wallstreetmojo since today we are
[15]
going to learn component of ratio analysis which has Days in inventory
[18]
formula let's understand this as you can see the formula over here days in
[23]
inventory formula is 365 days divided by the inventory turnover so this is the
[28]
ratio you are dividing 365 by the inventory turnover ratio let's understand this
[32]
days in inventory formula what exactly we are talking. See days in inventory a
[36]
formula tells you about how many days how many days it takes for a firm to
[42]
wait for it to convert its inventory into sales right let's have a look at
[49]
the formula for the days in inventory the days in inventory is equal to 365
[56]
days divided by inventory turnover right so as you can see we need to know the
[66]
inventory turnover ratio before the days in inventory calculation so the
[70]
inventory turnover formula goes something like this
[76]
is equal to your COGS / ending inventory you can take average also
[84]
that's fine so now the cost of the goods sold can also be divided by the average
[88]
inventory okay and that is the average of the beginning and the ending
[92]
inventory to find out the inventory turnover ratio now let's take the days
[97]
in the inventory turnover ratio example a practical example how so that you know
[101]
will have a crystal clear idea about how the formula works now let's say let's
[107]
take a example and let's say this there's this guy called John John wants
[112]
to know the inventory days of the company and he has couple of he has gathered
[119]
couple of details like you know the beginning inventory inventory of the
[125]
year for if he has collected as $40,000 and the ending inventory is let's say
[134]
$60,000 the cost of the goods sold 1/3 the COGS is equal to let's say 3 lakh
[142]
what what he has collected and your consist of 365 days okay then
[149]
find out the days of inventory for John so first we need to calculate the
[154]
average inventory now we know that the beginning and the ending inventory of
[160]
the year so we'll use a simple average to find out the average inventory of the
[163]
year the average inventory is going to be your opening inventory + closing /2
[171]
right so that's going to be 50,000 that's that's a $50,000 your average
[176]
inventory now the inventory turnover ratio is going to be COGS that is your
[185]
cost of goods sold dived by your average inventory right we'll give you
[190]
six times so you can find out the day's the inventory days as simple as that
[197]
shouldn't be much of a hazal over here inventories is equal to your 365 days
[204]
that is number of days in year / the inventory turnover ratio that will
[208]
give you 60.833 so this is remember one thing this is times and this is days
[216]
okay so make sure what you are interpreting so we are interpreting in
[220]
terms of days so this is 61 based aprox now you have got the real idea about how
[227]
the things have been calculated the formula the calculation but what about
[231]
the explanation part you shouldn't be just learning the formula you listen you
[235]
just shouldn't be calculating the the numbers but at the same time you should
[239]
know how to interpret it right so there's an inventing formula is used to
[242]
see how many days the form takes to transform its inventor into finished
[247]
goods right since the major part of days in inventory formula includes inventory
[253]
turnover ratio right ITR right we need to understand the
[258]
inventory turnover ratio to comprehend the meaning of the inventory is formula
[262]
now the inventory turnover ratio the IT o helps or ITR helps us to understand
[268]
the efficiency of the company to handle the inventory it shows that how good the
[277]
company is is is to reduce the overspending on the
[281]
inventory and also how will the company can convert the inventory into the
[286]
finished stocks now for example if you forms inventory turnover ratio is let's
[291]
say 10 10 times it means that the form turns the inventory in to inventory into
[298]
finished goods 10 times you're okay and there comes the value of the inventories
[305]
formula so if we consider there are let's say 365 days okay in a year we can
[311]
see that the days it takes for the form to transform the inventory into finished
[318]
goods or the finish stock so all we need to do is to divide 365 divided by 10
[322]
times that will give us 36.5 days in inventory to transform the inventory
[327]
to theif finish goods this is what the interpretation goes right now let's
[332]
understand what is the use or the or we can consider what exactly is the
[336]
importance so we can derive the formula for days in inventory by including the
[342]
number of days of the year with the inventory turnover ratio if we ever
[344]
wanted to know about the efficiency of the inventory management of the firm of
[348]
the firm you should look at both the inventory turnover and the inventory
[354]
days okay so by trying to find out the inventory days you would be able to
[359]
calculate both of the above ratio now by using the formula for days in inventory
[362]
you will get to know that how much firm takes down there to manage deal or to
[366]
transform the transform these things into inventory into basically into
[371]
inventory into finished goods now this is basically the calculator that you can
[375]
actually apply in your case there are 365 days okay which if you want you can
[380]
change it to 360 but here we are not allowed to change let's say we are just
[383]
taking 365 days if your inventory turnover ratio is 10 that means 37 days
[389]
you are taking to convert your you can say your inventory into finished goods
[394]
right so what analysis that we can make we'll try and we'll try and understand
[401]
that let's say of if our inventory turnover ratio goes to eight okay we'll
[406]
start with 10, 8 and 12 will make three analysis over here if it is
[411]
10 what is the result that we get 37 right
[415]
so 37 days it takes this are days this are times right if it is 10 times it
[422]
takes 37 days if it is 8 times it takes 46 days so as the ratio goes down it
[430]
means the number of days to convert is going up and as we move to 12 it moves
[436]
on to moves down to 30 days so you invented turnover ratio or the t's sorry
[441]
the days in payable is reducing if your inventory turnover ratio goes up so
[447]
higher the inventory turnover ratio lower is going to be the days in the
[451]
inventory formula so let's make some analysis over here inventory turnover
[456]
ratio and days in payable days in inventory turnover ratio so what do we
[468]
see we see that if your inventory turnover ratio is higher your days in
[473]
inventory is going to be lower and if your inventory turnover ratio is lower
[478]
then your days in inventory is going to be higher so what we can see there is an
[485]
inverse relationship between the inventory turnover ratio and day days in
[490]
inventory right and this case is good the higher inventory turnover ratio
[496]
means that there are own there aren't lower number of days in which the
[499]
inventory staying in the company order firm so this is a good situation and
[504]
this is the bad situation so always a company or a firm should strive for
[509]
this particular case and every company always goes for this why not why someone
[514]
wants their inventory to be tied up and remember one thing if there are some
[518]
obsolete inventory which let's say due to the change in the fashion or thus
[522]
taste in the market then absolutely this case is going to come in that scenario
[525]
quick decisions are going to help you thank you everyone
