Explain.

Dear Student,

Average age of inventory is the average number of days that the firm shall require in selling its inventory. 

Average age of inventory = Average CostCost of Goods Sold×365

But here, as the company has started its business on 1st August, therefore the number of days will be 243 (Aug 1- Mar 31).
