Explanation:

The inventory value for Monroe Manufacturing is not known, but can calculated using quick ratio

Quick ratio = (current assets-inventory) / current liabilities

Quick ratio=2

Current assets=$70000

Current liabilities=$24500

2 = ($70000-inventory) / $24500

By cross multiplying we have

2*24500=$70000-inventory

49000=$70000-inventory

Inventory = 70000-49000

inventory=21000

In determining how often Monroe sells and replaces inventory, we use inventory turnover ratio

Inventory ratio=sales/inventory

Sales=$400000

inventory turnover=400000/21000

Inventory turnover=19.05
