Answer 1

Answer:

72 days

Explanation:

The computation of the accounts payable turnover ratio is shown below:

Accounts payable turnover ratio = Total Purchases ÷ Average Accounts payable

As we know that

Cost of goods sold =  Beginning inventory + total purchases - Ending inventory

i.e  

Total Purchases = Cost of goods sold + Ending Inventory – Beginning Inventory

= $550,000 + $101,000 - $120,000

= $531,000

So, the account payable turnover ratio is

= $531,000 ÷ $105,000

= 5.06 times

Now in days it is

= 365 days ÷ 5.06 times

= 72 days
