Answer 1

Based on the production process time, the days finished goods are kept on hand and others, the operating cycle would be 50 days.  

What is the operating cycle?

The operating cycle can be found as:

= Average production time + Finished goods holding period + Accounts receivable outstanding period - Days of credit

Solving gives:

= 40 + 15 + 35 - 40

= 50 days
