Answer:
A. 56.32 days
B. 40.38 days
Explanation:
The Operating cycle is the Inventory period + AR period
Inventory period= 365/(Cost of goods sold/Average inventory)
Average inventory= (Beginning Inventory + Ending Inventory)/2
Accounts Receivable period= 365/(Credit Sales/Average Accounts Receivable )
Average Accounts Receivable= (Beginning Accounts Receivable + Ending Inventory Accounts Receivable)/2
Calculated Inventory period= 42.58 days
Calculated Accounts Receivable period= 13.74 days
The Cash cycle is also called the Net Operating cycle which is the Inventory period + Accounts Receivable period- Accounts Payable period
Accounts Payable period= 365/(Cost of goods sold/Average Accounts Payable)
Average Accounts Payable = (Beginning Accounts Payables + Ending Inventory Accounts Payable)/2
Calculated Accounts Payable period= 15.94 days
