q = quantity purchased by an average buyer per year

Inventory
turnover rate (also called stockturn
rate for resellers) is the number of times an inventory turns over or is
sold during a specified time period (often one year).
Teaching
Note:  It may be computed on a cost, selling price,
or a unit basis.  The formulas are:
                                                                                        Cost of goods sold   
                                                          Stockturn
rate  =

inventory at cost
or
                                                                                  Selling
price of goods sold   
                                                          Stockturn
rate  =  
———————————
                                                                                       Avg.

NMC = net sales - cost of goods sold - marketing expenses
where,
marketing expenses
= selling expenses + promotion + freight + managerial salaries and expenses =
$5,000,000 + $3,000,000 + $4,000,000 + $2,000,000 = $14,000,000
so,
NMC = $40,000,000 -
$16,000,000 -
$14,000,000 = $10,000,000

                                           marketing
expenses                  $14,000,000
i.)  Students’ responses will vary on this
question.  However, it should be noted
that these ratios should be compared to previous ratios for the division, other
divisions of the company, competitors, and industry averages.
