Answer:

136.20 days

Explanation:

Given that,

Opening inventory = 546,745

Closing inventory = 585,764

Cost of goods sold in 2016 = $1,517,397

Average inventory:

= (Opening inventory + Closing inventory) Ă· 2

= (546,745 + 585,764) Ă· 2

= 1,132,509 Ă· 2

= 566,254.5

Therefore, the average days inventory outstanding is calculated by the following formula:

= Average inventory Ă· (COGS/365 days)

= 566,254.5 Ă· ($1,517,397/365)

= 566,254.5 Ă· 4,157.3

= 136.20 days
