    For payables days we should use credit purchases (if we are given it).

    For inventory days we should use cost of sales (because inventory is valued at the cost of production).

    The cost of production is the cost of what is produced.

    The cost of sales is the cost of what is sold.

    A company does not always sell everything they produce – the difference is left in inventory.

    Not right. Revenue less cost of sales is the gross profit.
