50 days

Explanation:

THE average collection period for Year 2 is closest to 50 days

Year 2:

cost of goods sold = $730

opening inventory = $110

closing inventory = $90 therefore total inventory = 110 + 90 = $200

Average inventory = $100

to calculate inventory turnover ratio = cost of goods sold / average inventory

= 730 / 100 = 7.30

The average collection period = 365 days / inventory turnover ratio

= 365/7.30 = 50 days
