Inventory Turnover Dio Bridge

Bridge inventory turnover to days inventory outstanding and back. Preparation only, not an account action.

What to provide

Cost of goods sold, average inventory, and the reported turnover or days figure.

How it works

1. Record COGS and average inventory.
2. Compute turnover as COGS over average inventory.
3. Compute days inventory as 365 over turnover.
4. Compare to the reported figures and return the bridge.

The output

cogs | average_inventory | turnover | dio_days | reported_dio | difference

Worked fictional example

Fictional year: COGS of 730,000 and average inventory of 100,000 give a turnover of 7.3x and 50.0 days; a reported 45.0 days implies a turnover of 8.1, a 0.8x gap to trace.
