    Option A. The number of days' sales in inventory 59.6 days.

    Explanation:

    Opening inventory = $ 30,786

    Closing inventory = $ 41,508

    Average inventory = (Opening inventory + closing inventory) : 2

    = ($ 30,786 + $ 41,508) : 2

    = $ 72,294 : 2

    = $ 36,147

    Day sales in inventory = (Average inventory * 365) : cost of goods

    = ($ 36,147 * 365) : $ 221,222

    = $ 13,193,655 : $ 221,222

    = 59.64
