Expert Solution

1) Calculation of operating cycle:

Particulars Amount
Oprating cycle = Inventory conversion period+average collection period
Inventory converson period = 365/13.99                              26.09
Average collection period= 365/24.52                              14.89
Operating cycle = 26.09+14.89                              40.98
Operating cycle =40.98 days

2)

Cash conversion cycle = Inventory conversion period+average collection period-payable deferral period

So increase in average collection period will increase Cash cycle. So correct answer is increase.
