Based on the provided data for Alaska Air Group Inc, let's analyze the activity ratios:
1. Inventory Turnover: The inventory turnover ratio measures how efficiently a company manages its inventory by showing the number of times the inventory is sold and replaced during a specific period. Alaska Air Group Inc's inventory turnover has fluctuated over the years, ranging from a high of 100.84 in June 2020 to a low of 42.71 in September 2024.

A higher receivables turnover ratio is favorable as it indicates efficient collection practices.
