    Days cash on hand 20Y9 = 262.8 days

    Days cash on hand 20Y8 = 234.9 days

    Explanation:

    The computation of cash on hand is shown below:-

    Operating expenses for 20Y9 = Operating expenses - Depreciation expense : 365

    = ($60,135 - $13,225) : 365

    = 128.5

    Operating expenses for 20Y8 = Operating expenses - Depreciation expense : 365

    = ($63,780 - $11,400) : 365

    = 143.5

    Days cash on hand 20Y9 = cash + Short-term investments : Operating expenses for 20Y9

    $25,500 + $8,270 : 128.5

    = 262.8 days

    Days cash on hand 20Y8 = cash + Short-term investments : Operating expenses for 20Y8

    = ($24,250 + $9,460) : 143.5

    = 234.9 days
