A company has inventory balance of $24,935, accounts receivable of $9,902, and accounts payable of $14,652. If the credit sales are $186,978 and cost of goods sold are $132,477, what is the company's cash (conversion) cycle in number of days? (Use ending balances and assume 365 days in a year.)
Inventory(I) = 24,935
Accounts receivable(AR) = $9,902
Accounts payable(AP) = $14,652
Credit sales(CS) = $186,978
Cost of goods sold(COGS) = $132,477
In order to calculate Cash Conversion Cycle (CCC) we need to calculate Days inventory outstanding (DIO), Days Sales outstanding (DSO) and Days payable outstanding (DPO)
And, Cash Conversion Cycle (CCC) would be:
