A business had credit sales of $5,430,000 and cost of goods sold of $3,431,000 during the current year. At the start of the year, the outstanding merchandise balance was $425,000, which decreased to $423,000 by year end. Based on the information above, calculate the Days in inventory to the nearest day:
Computation of Days in Inventory:
Inventory Turnover Ratio = Net Cost of Goods Sold/Average Inventory
=$3,431,000/($425,000+$423,000)/2
=8.092 times
Days in Inventory = 365 days/Inventory Turnover Ratio
=365 days/8.092
=45.11 days or 45 days
So, Days in Inventory is 45 days.
