Answer:

A. 136.2 days

Explanation:

To compute the average days inventory outstanding, first, we have to find out 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

= ($546,745 + $585,764) ÷ 2

= $566,254

And, the cost of good sold is $1,517,397

Now put these values to the above formula  

So, the answer would be equal to  

= $1,517,397 ÷  $566,254.50

= 2.67 times

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

= 365 days ÷ 2.67 times

= 136.70 days approx

Why does an oligopoly only work if there are high barriers to entry in a market?
erastovalidia [21]
An oligopoly is the limitation of competition. If you can keep competitors out of the marketplace, you have more of a chance to make a profit. If you are in a business with a very high capital outlay or you have an extremely well trained labor force that your competitors can't match then you have effectively created or have created for you a very high barrier. Hence an oligopoly.
