Answer:

50 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Inventory Conversion Period = Average inventory / Cost of goods sold * 360 days

Inventory Conversion Period = [($3,000+$5,000)/2] / $28,744 * 360

Inventory Conversion Period = $4,000/$28,744 * 360

Inventory Conversion Period = 0.1391594768 * 360

Inventory Conversion Period = 50.097411648

Inventory Conversion Period = 50 days

Therefore, inventory conversion period is 50 days.
