    Dear John,

    I came across a practice question that took inventory days as a value of cost of sales value of £15m same as payable days, and not £27m as trade receivables?

    I thought inventory was a current asset and should have been treated the same as receivables days not payable days?

    I hope I have explained well enough

    Many thanks

    Inventory is certainly an asset.

    However, it is valued at cost whereas receivables are valued at selling price.
