[h3]Inventory and Donuts[/h3]

[dropcap cap=I]f you were to turn the average U.S. jeweler’s inventory into a doughnut, here’s how it would look — stale and mostly inedible. Fresh inventory and fast sellers would account for just a third of all stock.?Remember that $100 of inventory should produce at least $100 of gross profit a year, so inventory that isn’t selling is costing you 100 percent in interest a year.[/dropcap]
