    Decrease in the days sales inventory.

    Explanation:

    Days sales in inventory = (Inventory/cost of goods sold) * 365

    If sales are increasing, then cost of goods sold will also increase. Inventory is constant. This will lead to decrease in days sales inventory.

    For example, cost of goods sold increased to $10,000 from earlier $8,000 as a result of increase in sales. Inventory is constant at $5,000.

    Earlier days sales inventory = (5000/8000) * 365 = 228 days

    After the increase it is (5000/10000) * 365 = 183 days.

    Hence there is a decrease in days sales inventory.
