The correct answer is 265 Days and 237 Days.

Explanation:

According to the scenario, m the computation of the given data are as follows:

First we calculate the Days cash on hand by using following formula:

Days cash on hand = Cash and cash equivalent : [ (operating expenses - Depreciation expense) : 365 ]

So, For the year 20Y8

Days Cash on hand = ($25,720 + $8,200) : [ ($60,020 - $13,300) : 365]

= $33,920 : 128

= 265 days

So, For the year 20Y9

Days Cash on hand = ($24,945 + $9,420) : [ ($64,325 - $11,400) : 365]

= $34,365 : 145

= 237 days
