Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
Payable Deferral Period = 365 ÷ Payable turnove ratio
where,
Payables Turnover Ratio = Average Cost of Goods Sold ÷ Average Accounts Payable
= ($8,325,000 ÷ $320,000)
= 26.02
Now payable deferral period is
= 365 ÷ 26.02
= 14.02 days
And, the receivables conversion period is
= 365 ÷ receivable turnover ratio
where
Receivables Turnover Ratio = Average credit sales ÷ Average Accounts receivable
= ($13,875,000 ÷ $1,387,500)
= 10
Now receivable turnover period is
= 365 ÷ 10
= 36.50 days
