Large retailers like The Home Depot and Wal-Mart typically use gross margin ratio (gross margin ÷ sales), inventory turnover (sometimes referred to as inventory turns), and gross margin return on investment (GMROI) to evaluate how well inventory has been managed. The goal is to maximize profits while minimizing the investment in inventory. Below are data for four scenarios, a base scenario (# 1) followed by three modifications (#s 2, 3, & 4) to the base scenario.

	Scenario A	Scenario B	Scenario C	Scenario D
Sales	$ 10,000	$ 20,000	$ 12,000	$ 10,000
Cost of goods sold	6,000	12,000	6,000	6,000
Gross profit	$ 4,000	$ 8,000	$ 6,000	$ 4,000
Average inventory	$ 6,000	$ 6,000	$ 6,000	$ 5,000

For each scenario calculate the gross margin percent, the inventory turnover, and GMROI.
