Multiple Choice 45 days 50 days 101 days 108 days

Answer 1

Answer:

d. 108 days

Explanation:

Average Inventory = (Beginning balance + Ending balance) / 2

Average Inventory = ($139,000 + $158,000) / 2

Average Inventory = $297,000 / 2

Average Inventory = $148,500

Inventory Turnover ratio = Cost of goods sold / Average Inventory

Inventory Turnover ratio =  $501,000 / $148,500

Inventory Turnover ratio = 3.37 times

Average days to sell inventory = Days in a year / Inventory Turnover ratio

Average days to sell inventory = 365 days / 3.37 times

Average days to sell inventory = 108.31 days
