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
