Answer 1

b.112.3 days

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the number of days' sales in inventory for the year is shown below:

Day inventory outstanding = {(Beginning inventory + ending inventory) ÷ 2}÷ cost of goods sold × number of days in a year

= {($200,000 + $140,000) ÷ 2} ÷ ($552,500) × 365 days

= ($170,000) ÷ ($552,500) × 365 days

= 112.3 days
