Hi A-vic and Rinske,
I'm confused now! My Kaplan book says Stock Holding Period is caluculated as
Stocks/Cost of Sales x 365.
I've been stuck on the question on the June '10 paper too because of this - do you know why there are 2 calculations and which one to use when?
Thanks,0 -
There are two main types of stock (three if you include work in progress)
so it is natural that there will be diffferent ways of finding the number of days that the closing stock is worth.
Raw materials have cost whatever the raw materials cost (why would you value the period of time you are holding the raw materials for using the cost of sales?)
Cost of sales includes raw materials, labour costs, overhead absorbed: so it is useful for a calculation of the holding period of finished goods.
Please try to think about what you are trying to measure. If you are treating these ratios as little more than aritmetic, then you are missing out on real understanding.Sandy

Yep, silly mistake confusing materials and stock, thanks for your help Sandy. I find one of the hardest things about distance learning is not having someone to point out my blonde moments!0
