A company has the following information:

2014 Revenues of $8 billion

2014 COGS of $5 billion

2013 Accounts receivable of $400 million

2014 Accounts receivable of $600 million

2013 Inventories of $1 billion

2014 Inventories of $800 million

2014 Accounts payable of $300 million

What are the inventory days for the company?

a.58.4 days

b.65.7 days

c.70 days

d.73 days

Explanation / Answer

Average accounts receivables = $400 million + $ 600 million)/2 = $ 500 million

Days sales outstanding = Average accounts receivables * 365/Sales

= 500 million * 365/5,000 million

= 36.5 days

Therefore, option b is correct.

Average inventory = $1,00 million + $ 800 million)/2 = $900 million

Inventory days for the company = Average inventory* 365/ Cost of goods sold

= $900 million * 365/$5,000 million

= 65.7 days

Therefore, option b is correct.
