You noticed that a fast food restaurant's operating cycle is $30$ days. Would this suggest the restaurant is selling food beyond its expiration date?

Select an answer:

No$,$ because the operating cycle includes inventory such as boxes, paper cups, and bags in addition to food.

No$,$ because the operating cycle does not start until after the food items are sold.

No$,$ because the operating cycle includes the average collection period, which will be long if the restaurant only takes cash

No$,$ because $30$ days is the average operating cycle for businesses selling nonperishable items.
