2. Inventory Formulas in Use

3. Using Excel for Inventory
These formulas are used to analyze the Resort Bicycle Rentals.
Cost of Current Inventory=Bike Cost x Number on Hand
Revenue per Bike=Total Rental Revenue/Number on Hand
Revenue as a Percent of Cost of Inventory=Total Rental Revenue/Cost of Current Inventory

4. Other Formulas
Value of Inventory= Sum of the Cost of Current Inventory
Average aggregate inventory value = # of units on hand x total value of units
The average aggregate inventory value is the total value of all items held in inventory by a firm.
Inventory turnover = # of Rentals / inventory on hand
To improve inventory turns, managers should look at popularity of their bikes; which bicycle is being rented the least and the most often
Total value tells managers how much firm’s assets are tied up in inventory.
Total business revenue= Sum of the Total Rental Revenue of each bike
Net Income= Total Business Revenue- Average Aggregate Inventory
Current Return on Asset= Net Income / Average aggregate Inventory
