Answer:

Inventory cycle =<u> Inventory    </u>             x       365 days

                            Cost of goods sold

                          = <u>$75,000 </u>   x 365 days

                             $360,000

                          = 76 days

Receivable days = <u>Receivables</u> x 365 days

                               Sales  

                             = <u>$160,000</u> x 365 days

                                $600,000  

                             = 97 days

Payable days = <u>Payables        </u>         x 365 days

                         Cost of goods sold

                        = <u>$25,000 </u>          x 365 days

                           $360,000

                        = 25 days

Cash conversion cycle = Inventory cycle + Receivable days - Payable days

Cash conversion cycle = 76 + 97 - 25 = 148 days

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      Explanation:

Cash conversion cycle is the aggregate of inventory cycle and receivable days minus payable days. Inventory cycle is the ratio of inventory to cost of sales multiplied by 365 days. Receivable days measure the ratio of receivables to sales multiplied by 365 days. Payable days measure the ratio of payables to cost of sales multiplied by 365 days. Cash conversion cycle is the time lag between when inventory is purchased and when payment is made.

e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

(A) 1,200 Margin of Safety_{units}

(B) 330,000 Margin of Safety_{usd}

(C) Margin of Safety 40% of Sales

Explanation:

(A)

Sales \: Revenue - Variable \: Cost = Contribution \: Margin

275 - 150 = <u>125 CM per unit</u>

\frac{Fixed\:Cost}{Contribution \:Margin} = Break\: Even\: Point_{units}

\frac{225,000}{125} = 1,800 = Break\: Even\: Point_{units}

{units \: sold- BEP_{units} = margin \: of \: safety_{units}

3,000 - 1,800 = 1,200 Margin of Safety_{units}

HOW? we Calculate the contribution per unit. Then the BEP in units and with that the margin of safety in units.

(B)

\frac{Contribution Margin}{Sales Revenue} = $Contribution Margin Ratio

125/275 = 0.45454545 = <u>5/11 CM ratio</u>

\frac{Fixed\:Cost}{Contribution \:Margin \:Ratio} = Break\: Even\: Point_{dollars}

225,000/(5/11) = 495,000 BEP USD

{current \:sales - BEP_{USD} = margin \: of \: safety

825,000-495,000 = 330,000 Margin of Safety_{usd}

HOW? we Calculate the contribution ratio by dividing CM over sales. Then the BEP in dollars and with that the margin of safety in dollars.

<em><u>Important:</u></em> When posible to avoid rounding errors express as fraction iof posible

(C)

\frac{current \:sales - BEP_{USD}}{current \:sales} \times 100 = margin \: of \: safety

\frac{330,000}{825,000} \times 100 = margin \: of \: safety

Margin of Safety 40%
