Alta Custom Inc. has $5 million of inventory and $2 million of accounts receivable. Its average daily sales are $120,000. The company’s payables deferral period (accounts payable divided by daily purchases) is 31 days. What is their cash conversion cycle?
Average collection period |
Average collection period = Accounts Receivables / Average daily sales |
Average collection period = $2,000,000 / $120,000 |
Average collection period = 16.67 Days |
Inventory conversion period |
Inventory conversion period = Inventory / Average daily sales |
Inventory conversion period = $5,000,000 / $120,000 |
Inventory conversion period = 41.67 Days |
Cash Conversion Cycle (CCC) |
Cash Conversion Cycle = Average collection period + Inventory conversion period - payables deferral period |
Cash Conversion Cycle = 16.67 Days + 41.67 Days - 31.00 Days |
Cash Conversion Cycle = 27.34 Days |
Therefore, the Cash Conversion Cycle will be 27.34 Days or 28 Days |
