Question

Mario's Home Systems has sales of $2,880, costs of goods sold of $2,220, inventory of $516, and accounts receivable of $436. How many days, on average, does it take Mario's to sell its inventory?

Answer 1

Answer:

84.84 days

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Sales = $2,880

costs of goods sold = $2,220

Inventory = $51

Accounts receivable = $436

Now,

Time taken to sell inventory = 365 ÷ ( Inventory Turnover Ratio )

also,

Inventory Turnover Ratio = [ Cost of goods sold ] ÷ [ Average inventory ]

= $2,220 ÷ $516

= 4.3023

Therefore,

Time taken to sell inventory = 365 ÷ 4.3023

= 84.84 days
