Information provided:

Beginning inventory= $107,000

Ending inventory= $61,000

Cost of goods sold= $6,132,000

Sales= $144,000

Formula for computing number of days of inventory:

Number of days of inventory= 365/Inventory turnover

Inventory turnover is calculated using the below formula:

Inventory Turnover= Cost of Goods Sold/Average Inventory

                                      = $6,132,000/ ($107,000 + $61,000/2)

                                      = $6,132,000/ $84,000

                                      = 73 times.

Days of inventory= 365/ 73

                                  = 5 days.

Hence, the answer is option d.
