Days of sales outstanding (DSO) days
Number of days of payables days

Based on the provided data, Duolingo Inc's activity ratios can be analyzed as follows:

1. Days of Inventory on Hand (DOH):
- Duolingo Inc's DOH was not available until December 31, 2022, when it stood at 128.63 days. There was a slight increase to 133.87 days by March 31, 2023, before dropping to 130.65 days by June 30, 2023. The DOH data was not available beyond September 30, 2023. A higher DOH indicates a longer time for inventory turnover, which may imply slower sales or inefficient inventory management.

2. Days of Sales Outstanding (DSO):
- The DSO data for Duolingo Inc was not available for any of the periods provided. DSO measures the average number of days it takes a company to collect payment on its sales. Lack of data for this ratio indicates that information on Duolingo's receivables turnover is unavailable.

3. Number of Days of Payables:
- The data for the number of days of payables was also not provided for Duolingo Inc for any of the periods listed. This ratio indicates the average number of days a company takes to pay its suppliers. The absence of data on payables turnover for Duolingo suggests a lack of information on the company's payment practices.

In conclusion, without complete data for DSO and the number of days of payables, a comprehensive analysis of Duolingo Inc's activity ratios, particularly in terms of receivables and payables turnover efficiency, is limited. It would be beneficial to have more detailed information on these ratios to assess the company's operational efficiency and liquidity management.
