Solution

The days in inventory can be calculated using the following formula:

Days in Inventory = (Average Inventory / Cost of Goods Sold) x 365

Here's how to calculate it:

  1. First, calculate the average inventory. This is done by adding the beginning inventory to the ending inventory and dividing by 2. So, (80,000+80,000 + 120,000) / 2 = $100,000.

  2. Next, divide the average inventory by the cost of goods sold: 100,000/100,000 / 600,000 = 0.1667.

  3. Finally, multiply this number by 365 to get the days in inventory: 0.1667 x 365 = 60.8 days.

So, Riley's days in inventory in 2013 was 60.8 days.
