Inventory Turnover measures how fast the company turns over its inventory within a year. A higher Inventory Turnover means the company has light inventory. Therefore the company spends less money on storage, write downs, and obsolete inventory. If the inventory is too light, it may affect sales because the company may not have enough to meet demand.

1. Days Inventory indicates the number of days of goods in sales that a company has in the inventory.

Kimberly-Clark's Days Inventory for the three months ended in Mar. 2024 is calculated as:

Days Inventory	=	Average Total Inventories (Q: Mar. 2024 )	/	Cost of Goods Sold (Q: Mar. 2024 )	*	Days in Period
	=	1679.293	/	2877.286	*	365 / 4
	=	53.26
