    Hai,

    Im kind of confused on how to calculate the inventory days.

    The question goes like this :

    Receivable days : 58
    Payable days : 45
    Inventory turnover : 10 times per annum
    NCA days : 38

    What is the length of the cash operating cycle?

    Assuming that there are 365 days in a year (although questions usually tell you how many days to assume in a year) then if the inventory turns over 10 times in a year, it means there is enough inventory to last 365/10 = 36.5 days, which is the inventory days.
