Inventory to Obsolete Goods Ratio

Ratio

Indicates the relation between the total inventory and obsolete items. A higher ratio can signal poor inventory management or changes in market demand.

Formula

Total Inventory Value / Value of Obsolete Goods

Example

If total inventory is worth $200,000 and obsolete goods are $10,000, the ratio is 20:1.
