    The number of days in inventory for 2018 is 64.1 days

    Explanation:

    The formula for computing the number of days in inventory is shown below:

    = (Average inventory : Cost of good sold) * 365 days

    where,

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

    = ($58,000 + $44,000) : 2

    = $51000

    Now put the values on the formula which is shown above.

    = ($51000 : $290,000) * 365 days

    = 64.1 days

    Thus, the number of days in inventory for 2018 is 64.1 days
