Answer:

= 44 days

Explanation:

Days’ of inventory on hand measures the number of days a business takes to sell its average balance of inventory.

Days of inventory = average inventory/cost of goods sold x 365 days.

For this company:

opening stock:  $ 72, 500

closing stock: $ 65, 500

cost of goods sold: $ 572 700

Average inventory =72500+65500/2

     = $ 69,000.00

Days of inventory =69,000/572 700x365

    = 43.975

   = 44 days
