2.
Indicate the effect of the following on the cash cycle: Accounts Receivable Period (AR Period) goes up
Note: AR Period is also called as the Average Collection Period
Group of answer choices
* No change
* Increase
* Decrease
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.
