Tatiana [17]

Answer:

days on inventory 57 + collection cycle 163- payment cycle 63

CCCT = 157 days

Explanation:

The cash-to-cash measures the times from the company paid his good from the time it collect from the customer:

days inventory outstanding + collection cycle - payment cycle

<u>days inventory outstanding:</u>

$\frac{365}{Inventory TO} = $Days on Inventory$

Where:

$\frac{COGS}{Average Inventory} = $Inventory Turnover$

where:

$$$Average Inventory=(Beginning Inventory + Ending Inventory)/2$

COGS $ 1,790,000

Beginning Inventory: $ 273,000

Ending Inventory: $ 290,000

Average Inventory: $ 281,500

$\frac{1790000}{281500} = $Inventory Turnover$

Inventory TO 6.358792185

$\frac{365}{6.35879218472469} = $Days on Inventory$

Days on Inventory 57

<u>Collection cycle:</u>

$\frac{Sales}{Average AP} = $AP Turnover$

where:

$$$Average AP=(Beginning AP+ Ending AP)/2$

Purchases: 1,575,000

Beginning AP: 227,500

Ending AP: 316,200

Average AP: 271,850

$\frac{1575000}{271850} = $AP Turnover$

$\frac{365}{AP TO} = $payment cycle$

AP TO 5.793636196

payment cycle 63

<u>Collection cycle</u>

$\frac{Sales}{Average AR} = $AR Turnover$

Sales 102,000

Average AR 45,500

$\frac{102000}{45500} = $AR Turnover$

$\frac{365}{AR TO} = $collection cycle$

AR TO 2.241758242

$\frac{365}{2.24175824175824} = $collection cycle$

collection cycle 163

your firm is contemplating the purchase of a new $545,000 computer-based order entry system. the system will be depreciated stra

liberstina [14]

The IRR of the new computer-based order entry system is 22.87%.

Internal rate of return is the discount rate that equates the after-tax cash flows from an investment to the amount invested

The cash flow at the beginning of the period = purchase price of the system - reduction in working capital

$545,000 - $96,000 = $449,000

Depreciation expense = (cost of the asset - salvage value) / useful life

($545,000 - 0) / 5 = $109,000

Cash flow each year from year 1 to 5 = (amount saved - depreciation)(1 - taxes) + depreciation

($165,000 - $109,00)(1 - 0.22) + $109,000 = $152,680

Terminal cash flow = Salvage value - (tax x salvage value)

$71,000 - (0.22 x 71,000) = $55,380

IRR can be determined using a financial calculator:

Cash flow in year 0 = $-449,000

Cash flow in year 1 - 4= $152,680

Cash flow in year 5 = $152,680 + $55,380 = 208,060

IRR = 22.87%
