Answer 1

Option A is correct

Days' sales in inventory= 56.77 days

Step-by-step explanation:

The days' sales in inventory is the average length if days for which product remain in stock until they are sold. The shorter the days the better.

Days' sales in inventory = (closing stock/cost of goods sold) × 365 days

Days' sales in inventory= 49,000/315,000× 365 days= 56.77 days

Days' sales in inventory= 56.77 days
