    Sales = $12,000,000

    Inventory Turnover ratio (old) = 3

    Inventory Turnover ratio (new) = 7.5

    Freed up Cash = ?

    So, let’s find out the freed up cash

    We know level of inventory are calculated as follows;

    Inventory = Sales Inventory turnover ratio

    Calculating $ value of old inventory

    Inventory Old=$12,000.0003

    = $7.5,000,000

    Calculating $ value of New inventory

    Inventory New=$12,000,0075

    = $3,000,000

    The freed up cash would be=Old Inventory - New Inventory

    =$7.5,000,000 - $3,000,000

    = $4.5,000,000
