Answer:
Option B) 168 Days' Inventory Outstanding
Explanation:
Days' Inventory Outstanding is defined as the number of days a company hold its inventory. The ratio is is computed as follows:
Days' Inventory Outstanding = (Average Inventory ÷ Cost of Goods Sold) × Number of Days in a Year*
where:
Average Inventory = (Beginning Inventory + Ending Inventory) ÷ 2
*Number of Days in a Year = 365
Calculations:
Average Inventory = ($4 Million + $8 Million) ÷ 2 = $6 Million
Cost of Goods Sold = $13 Million
Days' Inventory Outstanding = ($6 Million ÷ $13 Million) × 365 days
Days' Inventory Outstanding = 168.46 Days = ~168 Days
