Solution

The correct statements regarding the days' sales in inventory ratio are:

  1. The ratio is useful in evaluating how quickly inventory is being sold.
  2. The ratio is often viewed as a measure of the buffer against out-of-stock inventory.
  3. The ratio reveals how much inventory is available in terms of the number of days' sales.
  4. The ratio estimates how many days it will take to convert inventory into accounts receivable or cash.

The last statement is incorrect. The days' sales in inventory ratio does not measure what percentage of profit the company is making for every dollar of inventory it sells. This is a measure of inventory turnover or profitability, not the days' sales in inventory ratio.
