Answer:

d. 6 days

Explanation:

Average number of days in inventory is an efficiency ratio. It measures the average number of days an entity will holds its stock/inventory before such inventory is sold.

It is given as the ratio of the number of days in the period to the inventory turnover. Inventory turnover is the ratio of cost of goods sold to average inventory.

Hence, average number of days in inventory for the year

= 365/($15,000,000/$2,500,00)

= 365/60

= 6.08 days
