5. After negotiating with its customers, Sullo was able in decrease its DSO by six days. What will be the resulting change in Sullo's accounts receivable? Round intermediate steps to the nearest whole day and your final answer to the nearest whole dollar.
1) DSO = (Accounts receivable / Sales) x 365 days = (1500 / 7000) x 365 days = 78 days
2) DPO = (Accounts payable / Cost of goods sold) x 365 days = (900 / 4500) x 365 days = 73 days
3) DIO (Days Inventory outstanding) = (Inventory / Cost of goods sold) x 365 days = (600 / 4500) x 365 days = 49 days
Total time an inventory order is received until payment is received = DSO + DIO = 78 days + 49 days = 127 days
4) CCP = DSO + DIO - DPO = 78 days + 49 days - 73 days = 54 days
5) DSO = (Accounts receivable / Sales) x 365 days
or, (78 - 6) = (Accounts receivable / 7000) x 365
or, Accounts receivable = 7000 x 72 / 365 = 1,381 millions
Change in Accounts Receivable = 1381 - 1500 = - 119
