That's $8.64 million in WIP, right?

WIP = (COGS / weeks) * WIP weeks = (36M / 50) * 12

If the annual COGS is $36 million and we work 50 weeks, then the weekly COGS should be $720,000, right? So, what would that mean for the WIP?

I'm not entirely sure about the calculations, but I think we might need to multiply the weekly COGS by 12 weeks to get the WIP.

I remember a similar question where we had to find inventory values based on weeks of supply. It involved dividing the annual COGS by the number of weeks.

I think we need to calculate the weekly cost of goods sold first to find the WIP value.
