A company manufactures hair dryers. It buys some of the components, but it makes the heating element, which it can produce at the rate of 830 per day. Hair dryers are assembled daily, 248 days a year, at a rate of 315 per day.

c. What is the average inventory of elements, assuming each production cycle begins when there are none on hand? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest whole number.) Average inventory _____
