Required:
What is the firm's days' sales in inventory?

Answer 1

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

The above is an incomplete question. From a similar question, we were given cost of goods sold to be $60,800.

Firm's day sales in inventory is computed as;

= (Ending inventory / Cost of goods sold) × 365

Given that;

Ending inventory = $41,000

Cost of goods sold = $60,800

= ($41,000/$60,800) × 365

= 246days
