Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Average sale period = (Ending inventory / Cost of goods sold) * 365

Ending inventory for Year 2 = $146,000

Cost of goods sold for Year 2 = $985,000

Average sale period = (146,000 / 985,000) * 365

Average sale period = 54.14 or 59.45 (rounded to two decimal places)

The closest option is C) 59.4 days.
