What is the length of the cash conversion cycle for a firm with $3 million in inventory, $1.5 million in accounts payable, a collection period of 40 days, and an annual cost of goods sold of $18 million

Respuesta :

The length of the cash conversion cycle for a firm with $3 million in inventory is 70.41 days.

How to calculate the days?

Days of inventory outstanding= 365/ Inventory turnover

Formula for calculating inventory turnover:

Inventory Turnover = Cost of Goods Sold/Average Inventory

= $18 million / $3 million

= 6

Days of inventory outstanding= 365/ 6 = 60.83 days

Days of payable outstanding= 365/ Payables turnover

Payables turnover = Cost of Goods Sold/ Average Payables

= $18 million / $1.5

= 12

Days of payable outstanding= 365/ 12

= 30.42 days

Cash conversion cycle= Days of inventory outstanding + Days of sales outstanding – Days of payables outstanding

= 60.83 days + 40 days - 30.42 days

= 70.41 days.
