Assignment: Compare the Walmart 2022 Days on Hand results to the Target 2022 Day
Assignment: Compare the Walmart 2022 Days on Hand results to the Target 2022 Days on Hand results. You can find the data you need in the companies’ annual reports online. Write an executive summary (follow the model provided) detailing the daily Cost of Sales for each year, respective days of Inventory for 2022, and the financial impact of the different inventory levels as measured by the Days on Hand measure. Assume a 25% carrying cost ratio. There is information on how to do these calculations in the example provided.
Be careful to use the correct units for the financial impact. (Financial numbers in Income Statements and Balance Sheets are often in $ millions.) Also, comment on any other noticeable differences in performance or situation. Provide the date for the financial information.
Explain differences in performance (merely stating that a difference in size exists is inadequate).
