    Solution

    Inventory turnover indicates how fast a company is selling inventory and is generally compared against industry averages. A low turnover implies weak sales and, therefore, excess inventory. A high ratio implies either strong sales and/or large discounts. The speed with which a company can sell inventory is a critical measure of business performance.
