1. The company's inventory at the 2016 year end had a value of$4,864,000.

2. The amount of cost of goods for the fiscal year of 2016 had avalue of $30,150,000,000 including depreciation (D) andamortization (A). The value was $29,490,000,000 excluding D andA.

3. Best Buy uses a multi-step income statement. The incomestatement begins with sales/revenue, cost of goods sold, and grossincome. There is another section that lists the selling, general,and administrative expense for the company. This includes incometax along with interest expenses. The net income is stated afterthese entries.

4. Gross profit percentage is found by subtracting the cost ofgoods sold by the total revenue. So for Best Buy this would be$39,400,000,000-$30,150,000,000 which equal a gross profit of$9,250,000,000. The final step to get the gross profit percentageis to divide gross profit by the total revenue and multiply by 100.Plugging Best Buy's data into the equation, I got$9,250,000,000/$39,400,000,000 which equals 0.235. Multiply by 100to get a percentage makes Best Buy's gross profit percentage23.5%.

5. The gross profit percentage in 2015 for Best Buy was 23.0%.The gross profit percentage increased by 0.5% from 2015 to 2016.That concludes that the gross profit percentage for Best Buy heldfairly steady from 2015 to 2016.

6. Best Buy's gross profit percentage is considerably lower thanother companies in the industry. For example, Apple's gross profitpercentage for 2016 was 38.6%. That is 15% higher than BestBuy's.

7. I calculated the company's inventory turnover ratio bydividing the value of cost of goods sold by the value of inventory;$30,150,000,000/$4,860,000,000 which came out to a ratio of 6.2. Tocalculate the days sales in inventory I took the the inventoryturnover ratio and divided 365 by the number; 365/6.2 which equals58.9 days. These ratios mean that Best Buy sells is averageinventory 6 times per year or about every 2 months during a year.Best Buy also has about a 59 day supply of inventory available atall times. These numbers indicate that Best Buy does not encountermany problems when selling their inventory.
