Step-by-step explanation

Given Data:

 

WOS = Onhand Inventory / Average weekly units sold  
ST = Units sold / Beginning inventory         

 

Table Below 

  (A) (B) (C)
  Week 1 Week 2 Week 3 
Opening Inventory 900 870 830 
Units Sold 30 40 65
  (900/30) (870/40) (830/65)
WOS 30 21.75 12.7692307692
       
ST 3.3% 4.5% 7.8%
  30/900 (40/870) (65/830)
  0.033 0.045 0.078
In Percent %  =  0.033*100 = 3.3% 0.045*100 = 4.5% 0.078 * 100 = 7.8%

For Week 2 

 

Where,

Initial Purchase = 900

Less: Units sold = 30 

Stock on hand = 870

 

For Week 3 

Stock on hand = 870 

Less : Units sold = 40 

Stock on hand = 830
