Plainville Corporation has the following data, in thousands. Assuming a 365-day year, what is the firm's cash conversion cycle?

devlian [24]

Answer:

Inventory cycle = Inventory x 365 days

Cost of goods sold

Inventory cycle = $75,000 x 365 days

$360,000

= 76.04 days

Receivable days = Accounts receivable x 365 days

Sales

= $160,000 x 365 days

$600,000

= 97.33 days

Payable days = Accounts payable x 365 days

Cost of sales

= $25,000 x 365 days

$360,000

= 25.35 days

Cash conversion cycle

= Inventory cycle + Receivable days - Payable days

= 76.04 days + 97.33 days - 25.35 days

= 148.0 days

Explanation:

Cash conversion cycle is calculated as raw inventory cycle plus receivable days minus payable days. Inventory cycle is the ratio of inventory to cost of goods sold multiplied by number of days in a year. Receivable days refer to the ratio of accounts receivable to sales multiplied by number of days in a year. Payable day is the ratio of accounts payable to cost of goods sold multiplied by number of days in a year.

What are two common causes of postoperative wound evisceration? why might these causes lead to wound evisceration?

earnstyle [38]

The two major causes of postoperative wound evisceration are as follows,

Post-surgery wound stress, which might involve something as simple as a cough or sneeze
Certain sutures may disintegrate too quickly, causing the wound to open.
The type of closure employed, may or may not have been beneficial for the incision.

What is evisceration?

Evisceration is a rare but serious surgical complication in which the surgical incision opens and the abdominal organs protrude or come out. Evisceration is a medical emergency that must be treated as such.

It can range from mild to severe, with the organs exposed and slightly protruding outside of the incision.
Intestines, for example, may leak from an abdominal incision.
This is usually considered a medical emergency.
If you notice tissue or organs emerging from a surgical site, call your doctor.
It is critical to keep the wound wet. Cover the opening and organs with a wet, sterile bandage or sheet while on your route to seek medical help or while waiting for EMS.
