Answer:

($1391.78)

Explanation:

According to the problem, computation of the given data are as follows,

Sales = $4,500,000  

COG sold = $3,248,000

First we calculate the amount receivable in both 40 and 43 days, then

Amount Receivable = Sale ( Receivable days ÷ 365)

Amount Receivable (40 days) = $4,500,000 ( 40 ÷ 365) = $493,150.68

Amount Receivable (43 days) = $4,500,000 ( 43 ÷ 365) = $530,136.99

So, change in receivables = $530,136.99 - $493,150.68

= $36,986.30

Now we calculate the inventory for both 119 and 115 days

Inventory = COG Sold ( Inventory Days ÷ 365)

Inventory (119 Days) = $3,248,000 ( 119 ÷ 365) = $1,058,936.99

Inventory (115 Days) = $3,248,000 ( 115 ÷ 365) = $1,023,342.47

So, change in inventory = $1,058,936.99-$1,023,342.47

= $35,594.51

So, we can calculate the cashflow effect by using following formula,

Cashflow change = Change in inventory - Change in receivables

By putting the value, we get

Cashflow change = $35,594.51 - $36,986.30

=  ($1391.78) (Bracket denotes negative)
