Beginning and ending inventory are averaged, COGS is divided by that balance, and period days are divided by turnover.
How to interpret the result
Higher turnover may release cash but can also indicate inadequate stock. Compare with product lead times, stockouts, write-offs, and appropriate industry peers.
