Days' Sales in Payables = 75.39

Explanation:

The formula Days' Sales in Payables = Number of Days in Period * Accounts Paybles balance / Cost of goods sold

Given, Cost of goods sold = $ 62,882 and Accounts Payable Balance = $ 12,989

Assumption : Number of days in period = 365 days.

Therefore, Days Sales in Payables = 365 * $ 12,989 / $ 62,882

Days Sales in Payables = $ 47,40,985 / $ 62,882 = 75.3949

The Answer = Days' Sales in Payables = 75.39
