Suppose the following:
Beginning Inventory = 11202
Ending Inventory= 12259
Beginning Receivables = 6123
Ending Receivables = 6623
Beginning Payables = 8425
Ending Payables = 8827
Credit Sales = 91254
Cost of Goods Sold = 72320
Calculate the following (round final answers to 2 decimal
places):
Operating Cycle = days
Cash Cycle = days
The correct answer is:
Operating Cycle = 84.69 days
Cash Cycle = 41.16 days
Note:
Average Inventory = (Opening Inventory +Ending Inventory)/2
Average Receivables = (Opening Receivables +Ending Receivables)/2
Operating Cycle = Inventory Period + Receivables Period
= [365/ Inventory Turnover] +[365/Receivables Turnover]
= [365/ (Cost of Goods Sold/Average Inventory)] + [365/(Net Sales/Average Receivables)]
= [365/( 72320/11731)] + [365/(91254/6373)]
= 84.69
Cash Cycle =Operating Cycle - Payable Period
= 84.69 - [365/Payable Turnover]
=84.69- [365/(Cost of Goods Sold/Average Payable)]
= 84.69- [365/( $ 72320/8626)]
=41.16
Average Payable = (Opening Payable +Closing Payable) /2
