(Use 365 days for any calculations. Round any intermediate calculations and your final answer to two decimal places.)

Answer 1

Answer:

The days' sales in inventory for 2019 is 85.88 days

Explanation:

For computing the days' sales in inventory first we have to compute the inventory turnover ratio.

Inventory turnover ratio =  Cost of goods sold ÷ average inventory

where,  

Average inventory = (Opening balance of inventory + ending balance of inventory) ÷ 2

= ($25,000+ $ 55,000 ) ÷ 2

= $40,000

And, the cost of good sold is $170,000

Now put these values to the above formula  

So, the answer would be equal to  

= $170,000 ÷ $40,000

= 4.25 times

Now days sales inventory = Total number of days in a year ÷ inventory turnover ratio

= 365 days ÷ 4.25 times

= 85.88 days
