    Days in Inventory = 63 days

    Explanation:

    We know,

    Days in Inventory = 365 days : Inventory Turnover

    Given,

    Inventory turnover = Cost of goods sold : Average Inventory

    Inventory turnover = 16,936 : [ ($2,410 + 3,430) : 2]

    Inventory turnover = 16,936 : (5,840 : 2)

    Inventory turnover = 16,936 : 2,920

    Inventory turnover = 5.8

    Putting the values into the formula, we can get

    Days in Inventory = 365 days : Inventory Turnover

    Days in Inventory = 365 days : 5.8

    Days in Inventory = 63 days
