        Does anyone know a good site to see what a company’s 2014 Working Capital Turnover is? I tried to calculate it for Amazon. I am getting 36.44. I checked a few sites and see they are not using average working capital in the denominator; however, they are using 2014 Working Capital as the denominator. This results in ratio of 27.48. Any suggestions?

          I think Edgar has the FR statements available to the public.

            Good question.  Just pull the BS from 2013 and 2014 and average the WC for each.

              Hi Googs. Edgar is a great resource for the Financial Statements, but they do not have the actual ratios. To reinforce the ratios, I started taking the Statements and calculating the ratios. Then confirming I math with Matchwatch, Yahoo, ect. For Working Capital Turnover I have not found a site that is using Average WC in the denominator. All the sites I have found used Current Periods Working Capital in the Denominator.
