1. Days Inventory indicates the number of days of goods in sales that a company has in the inventory.

Ball's Days Inventory for the three months ended in Mar. 2024 is calculated as:

Days Inventory =Average Total Inventories (Q: Mar. 2024 )/Cost of Goods Sold (Q: Mar. 2024 )*Days in Period
=1528.5/2283*365 / 4
=61.09
