Explanation / Answer
Days' Sales of Inventory=365*Average Inventory/Cost of goods sold=$1,126,000*365/$1,660,000=247.58=248 days
Days Sales Outstanding=365*Average Accounts receivables/Credit Sales=$760,000*365/$2,310,000=120.09=120 days
Operating Cycle = Days' Sales of Inventory + Days Sales Outstanding=248 days+120 days=368 days
