Cost accounting being more specific it requires the calculation of inventory turnover ration based on materials alone. But in FM the matter is little bit general and it requires u to calculate the ratio based on cost of goods sold of which material cost is only a part. Please note that the ratios are calculated with a specific purpose and according to your requirements you can decide what should be included or excluded from the numerator or denominator.

Dear friend,
Inventories include Raw Materials, Work in Process and Finished Goods.
The formula given in costing is for Raw Materials and turnover ratio is:
Cost of Raw materials used/ Average stock of raw Materials
In FM the formula is for Finished Goods and the turnover ratio is:
Cost of goods sold/ Average stock of Finished Goods
For work in process the turnover ratio is:
Cost of goods manufactured(Factory cost)/ Average stock of work in process)
Inventories include Raw Materials, Work in Process and Finished Goods.
