Answer 1

Cash Conversion Cycle = Days Inventory Outstanding + Days Sales Outstanding - Days Payables Outstanding

= [(Inventory/COGS) * No. of Days in Period] + [(Accounts Receivable/Sales) * No. of Days in Period] -
[(Accounts Payable/COGS) * No. of Days in Period]

= [($426,000/$2,572,714) * 365] + [($325,000/$3,256,600) * 365] - [($211,000/$2,572,714) * 365]

= 60.44 + 36.43 - 29.94 = 66.93 days
