Answer :
Answer:
Inventory days for 2017 = 60 days
Explanation:
Inventory days = [tex]\frac{365}{Inventory\ Turnover}[/tex]
For this, firstly we will calculate average inventory.
Average Inventory = [tex]\frac{Starting\ Inventory + Closing\ Inventory}{2}[/tex]
Here, starting inventory = $39,490
Closing inventory = $37,650
Average Inventory = [tex]\frac{39,940 + 37,650}{2} = 38,795[/tex]
Inventory Turnover = [tex]\frac{Cost\ of\ goods\ sold}{Average\ Inventory}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{235,600}{38,795} = 6.0729[/tex]
Inventory days = [tex]\frac{365}{6.0729} = 60.10[/tex]
Rounded inventory days = 60 days.
