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

mezya [45]

Answer:

The correct answer is Option C.

Explanation:

Current liabilities are those liabilities that become due and payable within a year or less than a year while long-term liabilities become payable after a year.

At the instance of the question, the note payable is a liability. Since $460,000 becomes payable on January 1 for each of the next four years out of the total of $1,840,000, it means $460,000 is a current liability while the remaining balance of $1,380,000 is long-term.
