Answer:

b. 94.9

Explanation:

The computation of the number of days' sales in average inventories is shown below:

Day inventory outstanding = (Beginning inventory + ending inventory) ÷ 2  ÷ cost of goods sold × total number of days in a year

= ($672,000 + $576,000) ÷ 2 ÷ $2,400,000 × 365 days

= ($624,000 ÷ $2,400,000 ) × 365 days

= 94.90 days

Simply we take the average of inventory and divide from the costs of goods sold

All other information which is given is not relevant. Hence, ignored it
