21 July 2010 Inventory ratio is, generally , calculated by dividing the annual turn over by the average stock. A higher inventory turnover ratio means that you have less cash tied up in inventory to support a given level of sales.
Inventory ratio should be steady or high year wise other wise it is a bad sign regarding the progress of business.
