A company has inventory balance of $22,467, accounts receivable of $8,842, and accounts payable of $13,504. If the credit sales are $171,186 and cost of goods sold are $118,377, what is the company's cash (conversion) cycle in number of days? (Use ending balances and assume 365 days in a year.)
a) 41.64
b)40.60
c) 44.76
d) 42.68
e)43.72
inventory balance = $22,467
accounts receivable (AR)= $8,842
accounts payable(AP) = $13,504.
credit sales = $171,186
cost of goods sold = $118,377,
Cash Conversion Cycle
Cash Conversion Cycle = Days of Sales Outstanding + Days of Inventory Outstanding - Days of Payables Outstanding
Days of Sales Outstanding = [(Beginning AR + ending AR) / 2] / (Revenue / 365)
Days of Sales Outstanding = 8842 / (171186/365) = 18.8528 days
.
Days of Inventory Outstanding = [(Beginning inventory + ending inventory) / 2] / (COGS / 365)
Days of Inventory Outstanding = 22467 / (118377 / 365) = 69.2741 days
.
Days of Payables Outstanding = [(Beginning AP + ending AP) / 2] / (COGS / 365)
Days of Payables Outstanding = 13504 / (118377 / 365) = 41.6378 days
.
Cash Conversion Cycle = 18.8528 days + 69.2741 days - 41.6378 days = 46.4891 Days
.
Cash Conversion Cycle = 46.4891 days
