Question

Jerry Rawls is the purchasing manager for the headquarters of a large insurance company chain with a central inventory operation at COBA Inc. His data in millions are as follows: Given that their Inventory Turnover is 50 times per year, their Accounts Receivable Turnover is 7 times per year and their Accounts Payable Turnover is 3 times per year, what is their Cash-to-Cash Conversion Cycle

Answer 1

Answer: 0.785 days

Explanation:

Cash conversion cycle = Days inventory outstanding + Days sales outstanding – Days payable outstanding

Days inventory outstanding = 365/inventory turnover

= 365 / 50

= 7.3 days

Days sales outstanding = 365 / 8

= ‭45.625‬ days

Days payable outstanding = 365 / 7

= 52.14 days

Cash conversion cycle = 7.3 + 45.625 - 52.14

= 0.785 days
